I am on the cusp of change and the curve is shifting fast.

Without community, there is no liberation.

The white fathers told us: I think, therefore I am. The black goddess within each of us - the poet - whispers in our dreams: I feel, therefore I can be free.

Out of my flesh that hungers and my mouth that knows comes the shape I am seeking for reason.

When we define ourselves, when I define myself, the place in which I am like you and the place in which I am not like you, I'm not excluding you from the joining - I'm broadening the joining.

Silence and invisibility go hand in hand with powerlessness.

Differences must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic.
