“I am left wondering if what the world has wanted from us since we were young is to be dispossessed of ourselves—to need nothing, to want nothing, to be nothing, except malleable tools in an antiblack system of exploitation.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession

“What I am still endeavoring to name in this book is something subtler, something I experienced before being fired from that job: the emotional and physical posture Black women are expected to adopt as we move through the world. In its most simple terms, I call this posture “an emptying.” It wants us, Black women, to be emptied of ourselves.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession

“Except I know. I know this isn’t a real conversation. There are a few things I’ve learned in my two years here, and one of them is that decisions are never made in the room.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession

“all the women. in me. are tired.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession

“This isn’t about my performance at all. This is about wanting me gone so they can hire a volunteer, family member, or friend. The newest darling they’ve fallen in love with. Someone who’s a better “culture fit.” They aren’t assessing my work, they’re building a case. And I know it because there are only two things in the world I’m good at, and one of them is speaking.”
Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-possession
