“Grave is home, grave is lineage. Grave is to know where your people is, even if you can't see them anymore.”
Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, When We Were Birds

“When the last feather has gone, and your woman body has grown full, remember that you remain a bird inside. You have not forgotten how to fly. For what is more woman than holding death and life, sky and earth in your body same time, to fly while earthbound?”
Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, When We Were Birds

“Yejide don't have the heart to tell him that is not only headstones that make a place a burial ground. Under the Green, under fancy restaurants that used to be plantation houses, under the government buildlings, under the housing complexes, under the shopping malls, is layers and layers of dead — unknown, unnamed, unclaimed. It don't have a single place on this whole island that don't house the dead.”
Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, When We Were Birds
