When we create out of our experiences, as feminists of color, women of color, we have to develop those structures that will present and circulate our culture.

I would like to do another piece of fiction dealing with a number of issues: Lesbian parenting, the 1960's, and interracial relationships in the Lesbian and Gay community.
But the true feminist deals out of a lesbian consciousness whether or not she ever sleeps with women.
