Book cover for Kiss It Better (Crenshaw Kings, #5)
guess I was just raised differently, which everybody is. I was taught that a man is a provider and protector. I can’t lay up with a woman and have her paying my way too. But these niggas is different.”

“As a millennial, I did what most of us did regarding trauma. I sent self-deprecating memes to my friends, worked longer hours so I wouldn’t have to face my emotions, and buried said trauma deep, deep down while reminiscing about how great ’90s music was.”
Brittainy C. Cherry, The Holly Dates

“That was white man’s magic, he supposed—you look at them, and you see the boundaries of your power.”

“just because you want to be alone, doesn’t mean you are alone.”
Brittainy C. Cherry, The Air He Breathes

Nick Spalding
“The thing they never tell you, or show you in the movies, is how grief becomes so . . . fundamental. To everything you do. It changes the world around you in ways you never expect – including your relationships with other people. They’re kind to you because you’ve lost someone, but they also . . . move away from you. Because deep down, nobody wants to be around grief for too long. It’s a reminder of their own fragility. You become a walking, talking symbol of something that will happen to all of us eventually.”
Nick Spalding, Grave Talk

Brittainy C. Cherry
“One day at a time. That’s all it takes to get through anything. Don’t think too much about the future or keep your brain running on the past treadmill—just stay in the now. Be here now. That’s the best way to live life. In the moment. One day at a time.”
Brittainy C. Cherry, The Fire Between High & Lo
