I try to understand people who aren't as smart as me and not be hateful.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

I don't want to be understood because if people understand me, they get tired of me.

I'm a brown girl from a Punjabi pind raised in Toronto. I don't expect literary critics and purists to understand the nuances of my experiences, and the experiences of the people around me...
