I LOVE IT"

Quotes by Zeba Blay (?)

“Being seen is not a guarantee of being understood. And to be seen and misunderstood is perhaps the greatest plight of the Black woman”
― Zeba Blay, Carefree Black Girls

“This is hard to always remember, but it is true: being genuinely kind to yourself means learning to not internalize how people who don’t know you and/or don’t care for you feel about you. A concept.”
― Zeba Blay, Carefree Black Girls

“There’s a subtlety to transphobia that we don’t see, because we’re not meant to see it. That subtly lies with making transphobic stereotypes so pervasive that they go unquestioned, unchallenged, undiscussed. So when trans and gender-nonconforming people call out these stereotypes, we should listen. Just because something is a common trope doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful, complicated and worthy of critique.”
― Zeba Blay
