“The dirty little secret is that I grew up in a household where there were no carbohydrates allowed, ever. No cookies, no bread, no potatoes, no rice.

“My fourth mother, my godmother, she passed away a couple years ago - her name was Gwen. She was the theater director over at the gym where I grew up and learned about all those awesome things I told you about already. She was the one who taught me terms like "upstage" and "downstage," all those technical things about the art of what I do - how to breathe what I see, how to move. They were all her tactics, not anything learned or given to me through a theory, but rather by her natural abilities.” YearsArtMovingMotherNamesGivenTermNaturalAbilityTaughtTheoryGrewCoupleDirectorsGrew UpYears AgoTheaterBreatheGymFourthTacticsPassed AwayNatural AbilityGodmotherAwesome Things Author:Erykah Badu
