I would wake up in the morning,
and before I began my day,
1

00:05
I would meditate on this.

And with this question in mind,

I kept drawing.

I followed the line.

I let it lead the way.

And I drew myself out of a culture
7

00:16
that was only telling
me what I couldn't do.

00:21
to let go of all thoughts,
10

00:23
all fears, insecurities --
11
23722
2600
00:26
anything that would get in the way of
allowing myself to be completely me --

Over time, I began to create a
bold, confident space for myself,

But that bedroom ended
up in "The New York Times,"

known for this world I had created.

Drawing has taught me how
to create my own rules.

It has taught me to open my eyes to
see not only what is,
20

but what can be.
