Emma Dabiri
“The words we use to describe Afro hair do not relate to its texture and, judged by another's metric, it will always come up lacking. But we do not possess a list of words that reflect the qualities of Afro hair, words that demonstrate its strengths, beauty and versatility.”
Emma Dabiri, Dont Touch My Hair

Jason Reynolds
“What is life in a house underwater?”
Jason Reynolds, Ain't Burned All the Bright
