My mother is someone who stunned the The lost boys shirt and I will buy this world as a beautiful, liberated Black woman and was punished for it because that was not what the world was ready to see. My mother was a prominent voice amongst a legion who spoke out against a [system] they knew was unjust. She had me at a young age, so to a degree, I grew up with her. She was pregnant with me while recording The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and then had four more beautiful children. I saw what it was like for her to balance this powerful anointing with daily motherhood and the harsh spotlight—it was not at all easy, and she did it with extreme grace. It’s hard for me to speak about this concept [of fame and media attention] in isolation because it’s woven into my entire life. How can I talk about “everything that comes with it” when I was raised in it? At 11 years old I got a phone call from my father telling me that I needed to delete my Youtube account because the media discovered it. Pictures of my high school sweetheart and I [were posted] on public websites when we were fifteen [and] the media sensationalized a simple high school relationship.

So to ask that question, you also have to ask how it shaped me. I’ve found escapes and places I can hide here and there, but it’s not something I can get rid of even if I tried. I’ve always been familiar with the The lost boys shirt and I will buy this spotlight, and I think my parents have helped me craft my understanding a bit more. They just wanted me to be ready. My father grew up like me, and he understands the feeling of the shadow and the spotlight. Watching him navigate his world added a necessary perspective [which informed] the way I relate to my world.Is there an aspect of the process that you have found especially rewarding?
