“i knew you

i met you.
i’ve known you my whole life.”
Nayyirah Waheed

Alice Walker
“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple

“When I am afraid to speak is when I speak.
That is when it is most important.”
Nayyirah waheed

Esmeralda Santiago
“What doesn't kill you, makes you fat.”
Esmeralda Santiago, When I Was Puerto Rican

“creativity keeps the world alive, yet, everyday we are asked to be ashamed of honoring it, wanting to live our lives as artists. i’ve carried the shame of being a ‘creative’ since i came to the planet; have been asked to be something different, more, less my whole life. thank spirit, my wisdom is deeper than my shame, and i listened to who i was. i want to say to all the creatives who have been taught to believe who you are is not enough for this world, taught that a life of art will amount to nothing, know that who we are, and what we do is life. when we create, we are creating the world. remember this, and commit.”
Nayyirah Waheed
