Complexity is her complexion & resistance & rebellion her anthem. She should boast the agility of improvisation on the keys & the polyvocality of a herald.

She’s not light enough to be white nor dark enough to be black leading to an inescapable purgatory. She’s joined the Civil Rights Movement hoping this will make her black enough & create an acceptance. "NINA SIMONE: FOUR WOMEN"
