Kindle Notes & Highlights
Yeah, I just compared us to an old married couple, that’s how deep I’m in it.
“Okay, think of it this way—you can move, be moved, go your whole life living other places, but you will always be from Brooklyn. Brooklyn will always be your home. It’s in your blood. So is Africa.”
“Pain . . . it can either make you or break you. And we trying to get made out here. You gotta keep going and remember who you doing this for. ’Cause you ain’t just doing this for Steph; you doing this for you.”
It’s like a scene straight out of a music video on BET. All these black and brown bodies dancing under red lights. Skins glistening, white teeth shining, laughing, drinking . . . this is what our people were always supposed to look like. Filled with joy, love, and happiness.
