In high school I had a friend who was a ballerina and I was intrigued, so I started taking classes—ballet, tap and jazz. The call of ballet was so interesting because it was so physical and yet so intricate and smart at the same time. Exit12 Dance Company, which I co-founded in 2007, works predominantly with, and for, veterans of war. Sadly, all our 2020 tours have been cancelled or postponed because of COVID-19....
At that time, Trinidad and Tobago was a British Colony, and the British influence was very strong. At school, we were forbidden to speak our native slang. Instead, we were told to speak British English. It made me feel like they were trying to take away my identity as Trinidadian and turn me into someone I innately was not, British. I found it very suffocating, I was almost 18 years old and I decided to leave the island....

Sharon demanded a lot from her hundreds of disciples, but this was an especially appalling idea. I refused. She pressured me, but finally relented and never brought it up again. Still, it scared me. We would normally do anything without question. My introduction to this cult was innocent enough. In 1989, I was a 29-year-old lawyer working for a Manhattan corporate law firm. I lacked nothing. I came from an affluent family in Long Island, had lots of friends, and played bass in a bar band on weekends....

I started gaining weight aged five. I went through some traumatic events and used food as a coping mechanism. I knew that eating made me feel good and there were always fresh cakes in the pantry. I was able to wolf them down and nobody would think anything of it. By the time I was 13, I was buying size 40 pants. When I started high school I weighed around 300 pounds....

There was plenty in Ruby’s background to suggest that he was just a luckless lout trying to avenge Kennedy’s death. The son of a violent, alcoholic father, Ruby was nicknamed “Sparky” as a hotheaded youth in Chicago, where he ran with a gang that delivered envelopes for Al Capone. He worked, at turns, scalping tickets, selling tip sheets and doing union organizing. Even when he owned a series of nightclubs in Dallas, he hustled everything from sewing-machine attachments to arthritis remedies to raise cash on the side....
