Raven C. Waters

Brooklyn Library

I'm a people watcher.

Since I was child - I'd stare.

Deep curiosity to the life we're all experiencing in such different ways.


I decided on Central because I wanted to witness the HOV exhibit.


Brought my laptop because I have to stop running from me.

From the greatness I can see, envision and feel.


It's when I turn my back on her that I get frustrated. angry. lonely.

No longer.

I am present.

I am active.

I can decide and make votes towards the woman I want to be.


I like her.

I love her.

I want to be with her.


Maya Angelou noted it -

Sometimes you feel better when you're sitting next to someone worse off.


It boosts you.


And sitting in this tech area on the first floor in Brooklyn -

I'm boosted.


Watching people attempt to their lives, bigger lives
