. Being in her presence was a dream come true. She was generous, supportive and as elegant as I imagined she would be. And she was hilarious. She has a deep understanding of who she was, but she also understood the larger-than-life phenom who was Diahann Carroll. She embraced the multitudes of complexity in that dance with her own legacy.
