“I’m not real, I’m just like you. You don’t exist in this society. If you did, your people wouldn’t be seeking equal rights. You’re not real, if you were, you’d have some stays among the nations of the world. So we’re both myths. I do not come to you as the reality, I come to you as the myth. Because that’s what Black women are. Myths.”

“Home , feels like the wrong word. How can I fit everything that I am now, into that place? “
