I Look Forward To Going

Like The Guy I Was Dating. White, Liberal, Educated. I Went To Meet His Family And I Think That They Probably Didn't Know They Had A Problem With It Until He Walked In With Me. And They Definitely Had Issues. Mom Had Issues With It. Could Not, Didn't Want To See Her Son. And I Don't Think She Had Anything Against Me. But It Was About Her Son Bringing Me Home. And I Felt That For The First Time. I Was Like, 'wow, That's Deep.' It's Really Simple: I Don't Fit Their Picture.

I Think I'm Definitely More Open. You Know The Thing Is I Wouldn't Have Said I Was Closed Before, But Like, It's The Kind Of Thing That You Don't Even Think Of Other Options. I've Been Dating Black Men For Really, For Like, I Don't Know, 10 Years. You Know, I Haven't Really Dated Outside Of That. Now I Think I'm Probably Am More Open To The Idea.

There Is A Lot Of Struggle In Being An Actor; You Need So Much Emotional Strength, No Matter What Level Of Stardom You Have, That It's Nice To Have Something Steady.

People Are Going To Always Have Their Opinions Whether You Date A Black Man Or Not. I've Had Girlfriends, Family Members Comment On Black Men That I've Dated As Well As White People. People Want To See What They Want To See. And If Anybody Doesn't Fit That Picture They're Going To Be Like, 'yeah, I Didn't See You With Him.'

There's A Lot Of Kenya That's Not Like Me. I Like Birkenstocks, Granola, My Dog Pops.
