...early youth. “I was really more of a funk girl,” she would claim, turning the dial as a Gloria Gaynor tune came across the radio.

I barely saw anything and left.” At the time, I took this extra-contextual detour as a strange, but earnest, act of de-maternalization—a PG-13 parable with the moral that, while we all at one point find ourselves...
