“Que j'écrirais fort, violemment, sans fioritures, comme si mes ancêtres, les sacrifiées, les anonymes laissées derrière lisaient par-dessus mon épaule”

“Mon intégration d’enfant immigrante a passé par la honte de qui j’étais, le rejet de ce qui me constituait et une série de petites trahisons envers moi-même et mes parents. J’ai commencé à ne me concevoir qu’à travers les yeux des autres, en tentant d’anticiper leurs réactions. J’avais huit ans et j’avais déjà interdit à ma mère de mettre des trucs pouvant être perçus comme exotiques dans mes lunchs, m’aliénant ainsi de ma culture d’origine. Mener la bataille jusque dans mon assiette tous les midis constituait un trop grand défi dans ma vie d’écolière ; j’ai capitulé en me privant de ce qui me plaisait, me dépossédant ainsi de petits bouts de moi.”

“Being beautiful, was that for men?'
'Yes. Some women say that it is for ourselves. What on earth can we do with it? I could have loved myself whether I was hunchbacked or lame, but to be loved by others, you had to be beautiful.”
