I was inspired by Madonna’s, 'Art for Freedom' project to create this video for 'On My Knees'. I wanted to emulate LGBTQ women, men and questioning youth. As well as friends who have passed away. It’s not about the celebrities but about celebrating life, I won't do that without including tragic events or memories. I am moved by life good and bad, obviously I prefer the good but more often than less I chose the path that ends bad. We truly are each and every one of us created equally but we have to own our God given right to choice without fear or wavering before we can begin to believe that we belong, that we are not alone and that we must follow our dreams and not someone elses. The persons in this video, in one way or another, have inspired me, were there for me through times in my life when I was brought to my knees. Artists that through song or through a performance on stage or in film helped carry me through. Before I hit the streets to march I take four bars of courage from a favorite song and a verse or two from the GOOD BOOK, my lantern, my truth. My life has been like a story that is so remarkable it is almost impossible to believe and without art, music, dance, song, voice, poetry and more, I would have vanished long ago without verse I am dead.
