“It costs the comedian nothing to stop telling fat, homophobic, and transphobic jokes. Nothing! If they couldn't get someone to laugh outside of those contexts, they should consider a new profession.”
― Fat Girls in Black Bodies: Creating Communities of Our Own

“What is it about a fat body that is so offensive? How on earth does the melanin in my skin incite a frown? Have you seen this skin in the sun?! Whew! The golden undertones that highlight my cheekbones are glorious! The rolls that make up my person are warm and inviting. No one that has been embraced by them leaves unsatisfied. In my hands there is healing. In my presence, I house joy.”

“The crafting of meals is somewhat spiritual in itself. It teaches us to cook with the best ingredients to render a flavor that speaks to how we feel about one another. Food in Black culture is a conduit of communication. A feeling. A connection.”
