I am a 29-year-old theorist who can remember being a 10-year-old writer in Montréal and who expects to be an 80-year-old writer someday. I’m also comfortably reclusive – a hermit butterfly in the middle of New York – a latent sojourner, a reluctant cynic when I’m not careful, a questioning feminist, a Black African; an oil-and-water combination of zeal, lull, rigour, insecurity, certainty, and intensity.
