the book is forthcoming. by Danyel Smith. a history of black women in pop. from It Books/HarperCollins (2014). now writing. tumbling this stuff keeps me inspired, and keeps my brain sane.
Emotion drives me…anything that makes my skin warm up…I write a lot when I’m angry, and when my feelings get hurt…my feelings get hurt a lot. People say don’t wear your heart on your sleeve. I know nowhere else to put it…So that’s why I like to have a boyfriend, or drama. I don’t like drama–but it does spark. It sparks a feeling…Some people watch sports and yell at the TV. I write songs.

Ester Dean, 2009
