“Does your lover believe in you?

Yes, but sometimes I fear my lover does not

comprehend her light.”
Ijeoma Umebinyuo, Questions for Ada

“you remember your mother, her eyes and how she looked at you when she wanted the truth. you remember how she looked at you when you were thirteen and she bought your first bra, how she was smiling at you. you remember the day she told you how to count the days, to know you have become a woman when the blood first came.”
Ijeoma Umebinyuo, Questions for Ada

“I am writing for

the women

who keep kneeling

screaming at their phone

as lovers leave

as friends depart

i am writing for

all these women

who still

show up

with a smile

after battling their demons

the night before.”
Ijeoma Umebinyuo, Questions for Ada

“Ada, are you in love? Yes.

Is being in a relationship hard work? Yes.

Do you write love poems for your lover?

Every day.”
Ijeoma Umebinyuo, Questions for Ada

“Someday, we will learn how

to stop hurting ourselves

because pain is not

the only emotion

worthy of our being.”
