I happened upon this book as I was working my way through the Electric Lit list of 34 Books by Women of Color to Read this Year (2017) and didn't know anything about the artist or her practice. What I discovered inside was a delightful and insightful journey along an artist's path to being a practicing performance artist. I am an arts administrator and really geeked out at the intimate look at how works get created and brought to an audience. The format of the book and the honest reflection made for a engrossing read that I could not put down. Loved it.
