“In returning to the gospel of James, the hair (or even lack thereof) does do the talking, and it has been true for me that black hair talks in a language that is entirely its own, and a language that not all here can achieve – even among the multitudes of black folks, some hair can speak in a manner that other hair might not be afforded. Even among kin, even among siblings. But when it speaks well, there is nothing else that needs to be said to it or about it, although if I know my folks, I will say that many of us don’t mind heaping praise upon someone who knows they look good, even if they already know it.”

“I do not waste time or language on our enemies, beloved. But if I ever did, I would tell them that there is a river between what they see and what they know. And they don’t have the heart to cross it.”
