Last night I ran into opera virtuoso Davóne Tines who portrayed me in #FireShutUpInMyBones. He’s amazing, but him as me is still surreal to me. Lol.

Things I’m proudest of abt #FireShutUpInMyBones opera:
1. It didn’t impose opera on my blackness, but to the contrary, imposed my blackness on opera.
2. Possibly the 1st all-black opera since Porgy & Bess.
3. So full of black culture there a blk frat step show in the middle

28-ish years ago, I asked connie nathanson if she’d be my dissertation sponsor.
Last night we went together to #FireShutUpInMyBones .
At intermission she handed me half a PBJ sandwich bc she knew I’d had a very hard day. 🥰
