“Excelling at something doesn’t mean it’s your calling. Barbecue is gratifying to me. Food, feeding people, community—it makes me feel useful. You know, as a human.”

“It’s funny, though,” said Sasha. “I never pictured my soulmate being white.”

“I can’t be a ho. I’m too sleepy. Hoes don’t nap. Didn’t Cardi B say that?”

“Does your picker even work, though? You’ve been alone for a decade.”
“By choice! I was leaning into being single.”

Terrible. But these humiliations did have a positive-ish side. They taught Sasha not to take herself too seriously; how to laugh at her missteps (or, at least, softly titter).
