Intellectually, I know I am worthy, however arbitrary a thing worthiness is, and have always been worthy.

I am trying to keep growing and improving as a writer.

I write because I love doing it.

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.

So often feminism is built up as this thing where you have to be perfect. You have to be consistent and you can't ever deviate. That's just not realistic.

In truth, feminism is flawed because it is a movement powered by people and people are inherently flawed.
