“Excuse me, but what kinda black lady are you?" I smiled, looked at her, and said, "The kinda black lady that you wanna know.”
Rebecca Carroll, Sugar in the Raw: Voices of Young Black Girls in America

“It was a love affair of the highest order, an unsupervised joyride into the depths of what could have been, me back into the womb, bathed in her mercurial amniotic fluid, imagining that she might rub her belly with pride, no longer pretending I wasn’t there as she had the first time. She would push and strain in labor and keep me this time, forever.”
Rebecca Carroll, Surviving the White Gaze: A Memoir

“I folded into the mere sound of Tess’s voice, dizzying, liquid, and lethal like freebase cocaine shimmering in its heated spoon. It was an electric sensation, not like the safe, smooth feeling of Mom’s love, and I chose it outright.”
Rebecca Carroll, Surviving the White Gaze: A Memoir
