Ayanna Lloyd Banwo
“How to explain to him that her mother is a womb and a grave; a cage and a pair of wings; a feeding tube and a noose.”
Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, When We Were Birds

“They will ask me when I first knew I was in love with you. I will sigh and say I don't know. It happened in fragments, piece by piece, separate moments over the years. Moments - that's how I remember it. They will be surprised when I say you are the only man I have ever loved.”
Chimeka Garricks, A Broken People's Playlist

James Baldwin
“You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even but a millimeter the way people look at reality, then you can change it.”
James Baldwin

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Half of a Yellow Sun
