“Nothing softens the wounds of your ancestors like the sweetness of your existence.”
Bola Juju, WITCHDOCTORPOET

“you
not wanting me
was
the beginning of me
wanting myself
thank you”
Nayyirah Waheed

N.K. Jemisin
“But there are none so frightened, or so strange in their fear, as conquerors. They conjure phantoms endlessly, terrified that their victims will someday do back what was done to them—even if, in truth, their victims couldn’t care less about such pettiness and have moved on. Conquerors live in dread of the day when they are shown to be, not superior, but simply lucky.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Stone Sky

Ayanda Xaba
“A pen is not just a writing instrument, it's an object of creation.”
Ayanda Xaba

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”
Nayyirah Waheed
