Erin Makela
“And I mean strode--like a man does, so different from how I normally walked. I focused on remembering the cadence of my steps, the swing of my arms, how my whole body moved through the world with unfeigned confidence, claiming the space I inhabited.”
Erin Makela

“It wasn't easy to convince most women to venture toward gunfire in a snowstorm in the dark to find wounded, but a surprising number volunteered. These were not the wives of lords or wealthy merchants or generals but the wives of frontiersman, who were used to shouldering the burden of survival alongside their husbands.”
Erin Makela, Worthy of Trust: That Word Honor: Book I

Tananarive Due
“They wear you down one wrong at a time.”
Tananarive Due, The Reformatory

“most Latinos today can trace their genes to some variation of both Europeanness and Indigeneity. It means that many Latinos can pass as both “white” and “brown.” When the situation calls for it, they can prioritize their whiteness and erase the specificity of their Indigenousness. It means that even those generations of Latinos who have come of age in a United States that has systematically discriminated against them can still, somehow, legitimize their allegiance to white supremacy by way of their “Spanish blood.” It ultimately means that they can be a brown person in America yet look at themselves in the mirror and see a white, Spanish person in the reflection. In the end, that was what the Juan de Oñate statue that became a point of debate in 2020 represented to many Latinos: their ability to see their European reflection, to fantasize about who they were and who they aspired to be.”
Paola Ramos, Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America

Erin Makela
“I did what needed to be done, Whitley. If we are not willing to take risks, if we do not charge forward bravely, then the fist of tyranny will close around us once more, and this time there will be no way to free ourselves. We have one chance to win our freedom, and we'll lose that chance if we wait for others to act.”
Erin Makela, Worthy of Trust: That Word Honor: Book I
