Quotes by Jumata Emill (?)

“Why is video evidence never enough to convict white people of killing us, but suspicion alone is enough to gun us down and lock us up?”
― Jumata Emill, The Black Queen

“You talk about her like she was an object. Like she was this thing, and not the person you helped bring into this world. And I treated her like she was irrelevant. She had every right to resent us. I resent us.”
― Jumata Emill, The Black Queen

“Her being the first Black homecoming queen really had me walking around thinking we had accomplished something great. But representation isn’t enough. It isn’t the liberation I thought it was. The homecoming elections policy, the racial quotas, it’s all another form of performative activism. It doesn’t really fix the issue if the same oppressive systems remain.”
― Jumata Emill, The Black Queen
