“So much of feminist and antiracist work is the work of trying to convince others that sexism and racism have not ended”
Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life

“Slavery was no accident.
We didn't trip and fall into black subjugation.
Racism wasn't a bad joke that just never went away.
It was all on purpose.
Every bit of it was on purpose.”
Austin Channing Brown, I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness
