Quotes by Yaba Blay (?)

“There are so many intersections in each individual’s being that to define ourselves only by race is to exclude so many things.”

“So it’s important that we have a much more capacious conceptualization of history and the effect of history on the present, and that we not see race as something we have to get over, but instead as something we have to engage and confront and learn to move through somehow.”
― Yaba Blay, One Drop: Shifting the Lens on Race

“I don’t think Blackness is something that you can define verbally with words. It’s something that you are.”
