Thank you for putting two entities in the driving seat: August and God. And they served you well. And to Dan, and May Alice Davis, who were and are the center of my universe. The people who taught me good or bad, how to fail, how to love, how to hold an award, how to lose. My parents — I'm so thankful that God chose you to bring me into this world. To my sister Dolores, who's here, who played Jaji and Jaja with me. We were rich white women in the tea party games. Thank you for the imagination. And to my husband and my daughter. My heart. You and Genesis, you teach me every day how to live, how to love. I'm so glad that you are the foundation of my life. Thank you to the Academy, thank you."
