WRITING
Prince’s writing centers on marginalized, queer, and often silenced voices. Through film and creative nonfiction, he aims to explore the complexities of gender in black and Caribbean communities, the strain of political resistance, and the power of conscious travel. His creative and political praxis compels him to unpack capitalism, colonialism, and engage in deeper conversations about political histories and icons. We must do more than survive our reality. We must survive, define, and overcome our reality as well.
His favorite of his own writings explore the ways that black people can feel invincible and fragile in the same breath. How do we survive the horrors of our world and find moments of revolution?
“When they tell you to be good, to be well-mannered, and to follow the rules because this is how America will let you live, they do not tell you that even with your college degree, America will place the barrel of its gun in your tooth-torn mouth, break your back in its car, and feed you to the pigs. We do not survive what we don’t even begin to confront. Silences can kill us when we give them too much power.”
