For our FINAL Pride cover please do yourself a favor and bow down to AwengChuol. Enjoy a high holy conversation between her and altonmason.
. We can not catch a break! The lynchings and the suicides, and the kidnapping of girls. I'm such a person who really is great at controlling her emotions, but as of late, Alton, I've been crying. I wake up and say,"Who wants to cry? Let's go.
Aweng: That's what I've been realizing the last two, three weeks. I sat back and said,"The world needs me, but guess who needs me more? Myself." It's just the times we're in — the reality is exhausting. We wake up every day and literally the past 102 days, someone has died every single day. It's crazy!
Alton: The mindset is important and I think it goes back to when you said you have to be Aweng for the world, but you have to be Aweng for yourself first. You've taken the time to mentally find counseling, to get a typewriter, to instill your mind in books and writing and all that.
Aweng: We're still young! We're so young! We forget how young we are being in this industry. It forces us to grow up so fast, move so fast and be so fast, but we're in our twenties — these are the times to make mistakes. These are the times to find and lose yourself. That's one thing that I learned from my mama. The twenties is 10 years to mess up and clean up. That's it. Because when those thirties and forties come, that's life right there. That's real life.
Alton: Or maybe it is! You never know. I'm here to see it through for the long haul. Know that you got me. Know that you can call me at 5 AM if you feel some type of way. We could talk. If I feel some type of way, know that I respect you and have the love to confide in you. Even if it's too much to bear, you can say,"Alton, this is too much. I can't take it right now." I'm just saying we need to have transparency for each other.
"There are people dying physically out there, but there are even more people dying mentally and spiritually. Dead bodies walking who have no compassion, who have no humanity, who have no feelings towards what's going on." —Alton Mason
