Revolt is the mirror in which greed is forced to see itself.

Love likes to extend itself. If you receive it in a book - or however you get it - then your duty is to extend it beyond.

Politically, the world is so confused right now - there's so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.

It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put - without delay, and with tenderness - back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.

I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.

it is this broken road with pitfalls and sharp turns and unexpected traverses that has brought me joy and adventure.
