Audre Lorde
“Am I to be cursed forever with becoming somebody else on the way to myself?”
Audre Lorde, The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde

Nalo Hopkinson
“I made myself listen to the birds singing squabbles and love songs. Occasionally I heard a war. Sharp mechanical sounds clashed with the nature music. Bells and whistles mashed together in nagging bursts. My new life was calling. I had to get on with it. Body historians, griots of the galaxy, we didn’t diddle ourselves in jungle paradises, we inhabited flesh to gather a genealogy of life. We sought the story behind all the stories.”
Nalo Hopkinson, So Long Been Dreaming: Postcolonial Science Fiction & Fantasy

Sassafras Patterdale
“We turn to books to prove that we exist.”
Sassafras Lowrey

“We are not ready to fight because we love fighting. We are ready to fight because we are worth fighting for.”
Zoé Samudzi, As Black As Resistance: Finding the Conditions for Liberation
