| Like others have already said, this book didn't tell me anything new, but I still appreciated a fresh voice paired with more experiences while getting into the issues plaguing our community. I do wish we got more perspectives from black women of diff ...more | |

“Darlene’s dark brown eyes locked on Rose’s grey eyes.
Neither could prepare themselves for what happened next.
Warm like a bright summer day, magic like stars falling from the sky, silent like the world had ended; only Darlene and Rose left standing. That’s what Darlene’s first kiss felt like. Things that never made sense before were as clear as they had ever been.”
― My Colorblind Rainbow

“You never know people as well as you think you do. People you love will betray you, lie, keep things from you. Lead completely different lives and it’ll hit you when you least expect it.”

“If you follow me on socials or have read other non-fictional pieces by me, then you know I talk my shit. But also know that I don't talk out of my ass. Everything I write about comes from my research, whether that be in person or from doing the reading. And whenever my posts, essays, or whatever are based on anecdotal evidence, they are ALWAYS from genuine sources. I know my "hot takes" or whatever you choose to call them, may cause some animosity or negative feelings from readers. As I've said in the past, I have no control over how my words are perceived. But I want to make a few things clear: 1) You can disagree, but don't insult my intelligence as a Black woman, EVER. I deal with it enough from people in and outside the literary world who feel that you aren't allowed to be smarter than them because you don't look like them. So know your place when indulging in my space—this my shit. 2) I said what I said. After reading this book, I hope you take what you've read and apply it somewhere that benefits marginalized women of color. Otherwise, why are you here? Thank you for choosing this book. If you aren’t familiar with me, then now is the time to get familiar. -Chanel Hardy”

“And this was perhaps the first time in my life that death occurred to me as a reality. I thought of the people before me who had looked down at the river and gone to sleep beneath it. I wondered about them. I wondered how they had done it—it, the physical act. I had thought of suicide when I was much younger, as, possibly, we all have, but then it would have been for revenge, it would have been my way of informing the world how awfully it had made me suffer. But the silence of the evening, as I wandered home, had nothing to do with that storm, that far off boy. I simply wondered about the dead because their days had ended and I did not know how I would get through mine.”

“Love him,’ said Jacques, with vehemence, ‘love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else under heaven really matters? And how long, at the best, can it last, since you are both men and still have everywhere to go? Only five minutes, I assure you, only five minutes, and most of that, helas! in the dark. And if you think of them as dirty, then they will be dirty— they will be dirty because you will be giving nothing, you will be despising your flesh and his. But you can make your time together anything but dirty, you can give each other something which will make both of you better—forever—if you will not be ashamed, if you will only not play it safe.’ He paused, watching me, and then looked down to his cognac. ‘You play it safe long enough,’ he said, in a different tone, ‘and you’ll end up trapped in your own dirty body, forever and forever and forever—like me.”
