“In every workplace I have occupied, white people have gotten away with being rude because they were in a hurry, or mean because they were going through a lot, or aggressive because their anger was evidence that they cared deeply. On the other hand, Black women must walk on eggshells.”

“One day I would read Audre Lorde and recognize that my silence had not saved me. One day I would read Audre Lorde and tears would stream down my face as I recognized the importance of my own anger. One day I would read Audre Lorde and step into myself.”

“One person sleeps and another person marches. One person watches the kids and another person cooks. One person hosts the meeting and another person eats. One person posts bail and another person holds the family. We don’t just march together, fight together, write together, meet together. We also look out for one another and our physical needs.”
