Kamilah Cole is a USA Today & national indie bestselling author who has been nominated for a Lodestar Award, a Lambda Award, and a Dragon Award. Jamaican-born and American-raised, she works in publishing by day and by night she writes like she’s running out of time. In the past, she’s also worked as a journalist and at a hotel, two jobs that give you amazing stories to tell at parties. You know, if she went to parties.

A graduate of New York University, Kamilah is currently based in the Pacific Northwest, where she’s usually playing Kingdom Hearts for the hundredth time, quoting early Spongebob Squarepants episodes, or crying her way through Zuko’s redemption arc in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Quotes by Kamilah Cole  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Being forced to learn the language of your oppressors is an oppression of the mind. They rewrite your history when you're too young to know what you're giving away, and before you know it, it's too late to reclaim what you've lost,' she had said. 'Patois is your island's tongue, Elara. It's your heritage. It is the true expression of your heart. Don't give it away.”
Kamilah Cole, So Let Them Burn

“War didn't prove one country was stronger than another. It just snuffed out lives from each nation until only mourners were left to make sense of it all.”
Kamilah Cole, So Let Them Burn

“There is no right. There is no wrong. There is only the endless effort to leave this world a better place than it was the day before.”
Kamilah Cole, This Ends in Embers
