I think the number one thing Black women and all Black people should be paying attention to is our health.

[O]ne of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance, places where we know we are not alone.

Feminist education — the feminist classroom — is and should be a place where there is a sense of struggle, where there is visible acknowledgment of the union of theory and practice, where we work together as teachers and students to overcome the estrangement and alienation that have become so much the norm in the contemporary university.

To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.

When we face pain in relationships our first response is often to sever bonds rather than to maintain commitment.

Since loving is about knowing, we have more meaningful love relationships when we know each other and it takes time to know each other.

The fierce willingness to repudiate domination in a holistic manner is the starting point for progressive cultural revolution.
