| Description |
 I once heard an old TV preacher say, Be careful what you pray for, you might just get it, but this is not what I prayed for. And Im not having a bad dream either. Ive never had a bad dream, all my bad stuff happens when Im fully awake. Like now, like here, like in this place. Im fifteen years old and I spend two nights a week sitting in circles with rich white girls. I did not pray for this. So if you choose to remember anything, remember that my prayer was to have been born a rich white girl, not sit in circles with them.
At times funny, biting and somber Sitting in Circles with Rich White Girls: Memoirs of a Bulimic Black Boy chronicles the performers life long affair with the scale and a ten plus year liaison with an eating disorder. Also an exploration into the process and pattern of identity construction, in this case how growing up fat, dark-skinned, gay, and adopted by white folks affected and shaped the performers maturation Sitting in Circles with Rich White Girls: Memoirs of a Bulimic Black Boy is always crushingly honest, with the performers greatest gift being the ability to find playfulness even in the midst of grief.
