Kindle Notes & Highlights
I now know that a kid’s calibration for what’s normal is determined by whatever she grows up with. If your dad’s a drug dealer and your mom works in the sex industry, that’s just your regular life.
“The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”
Being a human is complicated, no matter your circumstances.
As women, though, I gotta say, we get tired of having to demand common decency.
Women have never enjoyed the fruits of equality or equity in the history of humankind and it continues to shape the paths available to us.
Why should we suppress or hide our sexuality? It is our superpower as women. It’s in all of us no matter our shape, size, or color, dimples or no dimples. Belly or no belly. I can see why embodying this power can be scary to so many. A woman fully awake to herself is a formidable creature. Just imagine what we’d all be capable of if we allowed ourselves access to our divine goddess power.
