00:00 (skateboard clattering)
00:01 That was decent, right?
00:02 One thing about skating is that it's so humbling.
00:08 You just can't be cocky on a skateboard
00:10 because you eat shit.
00:12 You'll eat it hard.
00:13 There's a real power that comes from
00:19 being able to articulate yourself.
00:20 (laughing)
00:25 (indistinct)
00:28 Right?
00:32 I really struggle with writing down
00:34 my feelings and thoughts if it's not in the song.
00:39 It's a really tricky thing when you step out
00:50 of what you're told to look like.
00:53 Everyone, I think, experiences that in different ways.
00:56 For me, when you're free,
00:57 you're not really chasing anything.
00:58 You're just kind of there.
00:59 I became kind of obsessed with understanding
01:07 what it is to be black in different places,
01:09 like the black diaspora.
01:10 Books are still, for me, the best way to engage
01:13 in a more meaningful level.
01:16 Yeah, literature played this huge role
01:18 in finding the beginnings of what is turning into my voice
01:22 and finding comfort and being able to talk
01:24 about these things that are really difficult.
01:26 And I love stories.
01:27 I was talking to my friend about this yesterday.
01:30 About how much stories mean to us
01:32 and how much our brain needs to be wrapped up in stories.
01:36 I think it's the same thing with my music.
01:39 I need to be telling something.
01:40 Oh my God.
01:41 (laughing)
01:43 As I've been learning about my own gender
01:51 and what non-binary means to me,
01:53 it's been really exciting and liberating
01:55 to play with different styles and different fashions.
01:58 Maybe when you're doing a puzzle
02:03 and you've looked at the same piece,
02:04 like maybe seven times.
02:06 And then all of a sudden you look at it and you're like,
02:17 oh, it goes here.
02:18 That's what makes this good.
02:20 And just finding those different pieces.
02:22 It can just be such a powerful thing.
02:25 I love it when people are themselves.
02:26 It's so cool when you see someone that's just like,
02:28 I know who I am.
02:29 I really care about this thing.
02:31 Being you is really cool.
02:33 And caring about what you care about,
02:35 that's where originality and authenticity is like,
02:38 for me that's where I admire it or look for it.
02:40 Like it's a better place when everyone
02:44 is in touch with who they are and why they are who they are.
02:49 I am...
02:50 The me.
02:55 (laughing)
02:57 (gentle music)
02:59 you
