I am performing this role of the artist and this role of the 'negress' coming into a white-box institution. It's kind of a self-appointed role: the self-designated negress.

Once you open up the Pandora's box of race and gender... you're never done.

Challenging and highlighting abusive power dynamics in our culture is my goal; replicating them is not.

The promise of any artwork is that it can hold us - viewer and maker - in a conflicted or contestable space, without real-world injury or loss.

I didn't marry to have children. I married to have a relationship, and I was blessed with one child. I was an only child, too - my mother was smarter than most women today; she just had me.

I've got a beautiful wife and a beautiful family.

Being African American and Jewish, I have plenty of ancestors and family members that I can look to for strength and, more importantly, for a grateful outlook on life.

I am excited by the opportunity to join such an extraordinary group of athletes and be a part of the 'Lucha Underground' family.
