Writer Carvell Wallace on past pain and forgiveness: Letting go is 'always available'

Tonya Mosley

Award-winning writer Carvell Wallace was 12 when he had a realization: He couldn't rely on anyone else; the only person that would always be with him in the world was himself.

Wallace, who grew up unhoused for a year, sometimes sleeping in a car with his mother, calls the realization "a wounded response ... a way of ensuring myself against the actual feelings."

In his new memoir, Another Word for Love , Wallace writes about his early life with, and without, his mother in western Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. He also chronicles his addictions, becoming a parent and a writer, and coming into his own as a queer Black man.

Wallace didn't start writing until he was 40 years old, beginning with an impassioned Facebook post in response to the death of Black teenager Michael Brown , who was shot and killed by police in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014. He's since written profiles of musicians, athletes and politicians for publications like The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker. He's also the co-author, along with basketball star Andre Iguodala, of The Sixth Man, which chronicles Iguodala's NBA career.

Wallace says he's careful to avoid what he calls "trauma porn" when writing about his own experiences with poverty, racism and homophobia: "There's a weird kind of ghoulish fascination with watching people suffer under oppression for art and for people writing about their oppression and reliving it over and over again."

For his own memoir, Wallace says his focus is on the root of his pain and his recovery from it, rather than the nature of the pain. "This is about what it means to become whole again. This is about living and hope and fullness and the regaining of self. This is about courage," he says.

Interview highlights

On processing his trauma about his mom through writing

I think it was cathartic and healing, ... even though that's cliché, because it helped relieve me of some lingering resentment that I may have still been carrying towards her. Because I believe that, like any resentment that we have, I mean, even if they're justified, they're more harmful to us than they are to anyone else. ... [When] my mother was alive, I had a very complicated relationship with her. On the one hand, I loved her, and it was great. On the other hand, I was mad at her for leaving. I was mad at her for not being there. I was mad at her for the way that the things that happened in my life, as a result of the way that she, in my opinion, chose to live.

On forgiving his mom before she died

Towards the end of her life, I had a real moment of clarity, like two days before she died, where suddenly it dawned on me, oh, wait a second, there's no benefit to me being mad at this person. ... And after that point, I was like, oh, you can actually let go of anything at any time, can't you? That's actually possible. It might not be easy, but it's available to you.

A Black Mother Reflects On Giving Her 3 Sons 'The Talk' ... Again And Again

And so it has become really important for my health, but also out of respect for my mother and my ancestry, that I let go of whatever troubles I have with this person — or had — and focus on what their power and beauty and glory was. And I actually believe that there's a real personal and political benefit to that, because it allows me to be empowered. It allows me to connect to her sources of power. It allows me to show up more fully. ... So I have no doubt that she joined me in the writing of this book. I have no doubt that this was what she wanted for me on some level. And to whatever extent she's able to reach me from wherever she is.

On trying on his aunt's clothes as a kid and getting shamed for it

Carvell Wallace's new memoir is Another Word for Love. FSG Books hide caption

Carvell Wallace's new memoir is Another Word for Love.

Adults have tremendous emotional and spiritual power in the lives of children, and I'm always surprised by how deep that goes. And so [my aunt] saying, in 1987, "You're terrible, you're a freak, you disgust me," is incredibly powerful. And this person saying in 2011, or whatever year that was, "I hope you've been able to recover from that," is also powerful. I think I got off the phone [with my aunt], I was like, yeah, I'm going to magically be free. ... And what I learned is that it was a good beginning, but all of the scarring and damage around it was all there. So it didn't magically snap a finger and disentangle everything. It was like, now I have permission to start disentangling.

On what it means to make his life an apology

The ways in which we harm one another can never be undone. You cannot un-harm a person. And that is a heavy realization to have, and yet, to me, absolutely necessary. Because if you truly want to make amends and make right, you have to fully embrace the fact that I can't un-harm a person. ...

The real apology is changing the behavior. So if you just say, "I'm sorry," and, "That was terrible," and then you just keep doing the same thing, that's not enough. And so for me to live as an amends is to wake up every day with the consciousness that I am responsible for my behavior. ... And it's necessary for me to deal with my behavior and my problems and my triggers and my shortcomings and whatever, because of the way those things have harmed other people, that it's actually necessary for me to deal with them. It's not optional. It's not, "Oh, today I'm going to try and be good." It's actually I've already done enough harm to people that I owe this to the world.

On writing about what his mom's life could have been if she had an abortion

It felt so good because again, I am also living in amends to my mom. And what that means is I am trying to love her in her fullness now, in ways that maybe I wasn't able to do when she was alive. And so there is a feeling of joy that I get from being able to examine her full self. And so that part felt good. Obviously, there's also grief. There's tremendous grief, and none of it is like, "I shouldn't have been born. I ruined my mother's life." I have no inkling of that. That's not even remotely how it works in my mind. It's more like grief for what she couldn't have. And I think the fact that she has passed helps a lot because in my belief, I think she gets more opportunities. Her spirit and soul will get more opportunities to embody themselves in new ways. And so this go-round that she had may not have been everything she wanted it to be, but she's been freed from this, from these constraints — and I love that for her.

Michael strahan surprised tom brady with the first nfl game he'll call for fox, share this article.

Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady will make his hotly anticipated broadcast debut for Fox this fall, and we now know his first NFL assignment.

During a network presentation on Monday, Fox Sports NFL analyst Michael Strahan shared with Brady that his first on-air assignment will be calling the opening-week Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns game.

Brady will most likely be teaming up with Kevin Burkhardt this upcoming season as Fox Sports’ broadcast A-team for NFL games, replacing former NFL tight end Greg Olsen.

We’ll see how Brady adjusts to the booth, and it’s good to finally know where we’ll first hear from him this season as he returns to NFL Sundays in a new role.

Texas' women's basketball SEC schedule includes South Carolina twice, Kim Mulkey in Austin

For a while now, Texas' women's basketball team has known it will be playing in the Southeastern Conference starting in 2024. Now the Longhorns know where they'll be playing their new SEC foes.

The SEC announced all home and road designations for this upcoming season's league games Tuesday. Texas joins the conference this summer after spending the past 27 seasons in the Big 12 . Dates, times and television information for games will be announced later.

The SEC will have 16 teams. Texas is set to play every other conference team at least once. Defending national champion South Carolina is the only team the Longhorns will play both at home and on the road.

In addition to South Carolina, Texas will play Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, LSU, Missouri, Tennessee and Vanderbilt in Austin at Moody Center. Texas and Tennessee have a long history together, but the two programs last met in 2021. LSU is notably led by Kim Mulkey, who previously clashed with the Longhorns while she was coaching in the Big 12 at Baylor from 2000-21.

Texas will travel to Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Texas A&M and fellow SEC newcomer Oklahoma. The Mississippi State and A&M trips will be homecomings for UT coach Vic Schaefer, who led the Mississippi State program from 2012-20 and won a national championship while working on A&M's coaching staff in 2011.

During the 2024-25 season, UT will also reunite with ex-leading scorer Aliyah Matharu when Florida comes to town and all-conference forward DeYona Gaston when it heads to Auburn . The Alabama-Texas showdown at Moody Center will be a rematch of an NCAA tournament game that took place at the same location this past March .

An Elite Eight team this past season, Texas has not yet finalized the nonconference schedule. Schaefer recently told the American-Statesman that UT will open the season against Michigan in Las Vegas and that a road trip to DePaul has been planned.

Texas announced earlier this week that season tickets are now on sale.
