I am presenting my autobiographical book, All That I Am.I am a forty-nine year-old African-American woman -- teacher, poet, painter, and jazz singer -- a graduate of the Pratt Institute and the first member of my family to graduate. For two years, a curator for the Society Of The Muse Of The Southwest. The idea of writing an autobiography came to me in 1996, after a near-fatal car accident. Coming so close to death inspired me not only to piece my life together, as would any human being, but to tell others the soul-crushing story of the life that I once lived, whose nature I finally came to fathom for the first time in my life . The narrative begins in 1962; literally, at my conception. It begins with the perspective of an unborn child caught in the abortion of a twin sibling, and finally born into an African-American family, whose roots reach back to 1926. None of the subjects thereafter are easy: family violence (both moral and physical), abortion, homosexuality, racism, sexual dysfunction, and being poor in America. However, I wanted to tell this story in a life-affirming fashion. My story is that of countless other people, my message simple: none of us can survive on our own, we need the life-giving nourishment of love. This is about love both denied and requited.
