The more successful I get, the more I am reminded that in the minds of a great many people I will never be anything more than my body. No matter what I accomplish, I will be fat, first and foremost.

I never imagined any of the success I am currently experiencing.

Feminism has neglected the needs of woman of color and people of color in general. But I don't think it means that we should overlook feminism as having nothing valuable to contribute.

I was called a feminist, and what I heard was, 'You are an angry, sex-hating, man-hating victim lady person.' This caricature is how feminists have been warped by the people who fear feminism most, the same people who have the most to lose when feminism succeeds.

I approach most things in life with a dangerous level of confidence to balance my generally low self-esteem.

People of color are not under any kind of obligation beyond working hard, doing their best, and learning from their mistakes.

People do terrible things all the time, but we don’t regularly disown our humanity. We disavow the terrible things.
