I been writing on my own accord since elementary school. Despite my difficulties with the law and with rapists, racists, etc., I maintained my A+ average and killed it in AP English. At Vassar, studying Sociology (http://rapgenius.com/1169400), all I did was write papers. And, today, I am a writer, professionally.

Since all of the money I make from my music goes to charity (more info: http://AWKWORDrap.com), it had to be assumed that I did SOMETHING else, no? Fortunately for me, I am able to earn my income doing something I love, and at which I happen to excel. I try to remember that for those times I start to let the little things affect me.

I graduated from Vassar College with a degree in Sociology. (And, FYI, unlike a lot of kids on college campuses, I ventured out and got involved in the surrounding communities.)

Emotion as an exclusively woman’s trait is a misogynistic construct. I am not afraid to punch a man in the mouth. Likewise, I got no qualms about crying.

I feel what I say. I feel what I write. And you can hear that in my music.

My anger – and determination – is caused by our surroundings. My toughness comes from within.

I could have been born another Woody Allen; instead, my mom and dad created what could be considered: Meyer Lansky x Abba Kovner x Hunter S. Thompson x Huey Newton.

I am pro-peace, but I retain my right to defend myself and (most importantly) my people against violence.

Aspirations. Shoot for the stars. Or, I’ll put them off for another day.

It’s OK to be AWKWORD.

I’d rather be a lion for a day than a lamb that lives forever.

Success is the best revenge.

I will not quit.
