'Dear God' spoken word performance

Egypt Ali performs her spoken-word piece 'Dear God,' a letter to God recalling childhood: dancing with socks on her feet, Blue's Clues mac and cheese, sleeping in a doorway waiting for God to knock. The piece moves through self-image struggles and drifting from faith to a plea to come home to the only peace she has known. The hosts react warmly, and Egypt describes the 16-day countdown with Chris Townsend's photography leading to release day.
