Maya Angelou
“Don’t lose what you had to get something which just may not work.”
Maya Angelou, All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes: An Autobiography

Zalika Reid-Benta
“As a kid I’d made the mistake of offering up overly complicated explanations, thinking that the more detailed I was, the more her doubt would ebb. Those explanations usually ended up revealing some kind of secret I wasn’t even aware I was keeping from her. Now I knew to say as little as possible.”
Zalika Reid-Benta, Frying Plantain

Zalika Reid-Benta
“It had taken three different sleepovers at three different houses for me to realize that not all families worked this way.”
Zalika Reid-Benta, Frying Plantain

Zalika Reid-Benta
“She had to know what I’d only just now discovered: that peace could only exist in this family when we lied about everything, at least to each other.”
Zalika Reid-Benta, Frying Plantain

Maya Angelou
“The Black child must learn early to allow laughter to fill his mouth or the million small cruelties he encounters will congeal and clog his throat.”
Maya Angelou, All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes
