It was brief, but my husband (before he was my husband) and I went to see “Top Dog/Under Dog” on B’way with Mos Def and Jeffrey Wright. I looked up and who was standing there, Toni Morrison.

I called my mother and tried not to freak out. After I calmed down, I went up to her, thanked her for her work, and shook her hand.

BTW: she was waiting for Sonia Sanchez. They sat together a couple of rows in front of us.
