“Your Blackness is undeniable and you do not have to adhere to society's idea of what Blackness is.”
― Black Girl, White School: Thriving, Surviving and No, You Can't Touch My Hair
― Black Girl, White School: Thriving, Surviving and No, You Can't Touch My Hair
“This obsessing heart which does not correspond
To my language, nor to my customs,
And on which encroach, like a clinging-root,
Borrowed feelings and the customs
Of Europe, feel this suffering
And this despair—equal to no other—
Of ever taming with words from France
This heart which came to me from Sénegal.
- Haitian poet”
― Black Orpheus

And on which encroach, like a clinging-root,
Borrowed feelings and the customs
Of Europe, feel this suffering
And this despair—equal to no other—
Of ever taming with words from France
This heart which came to me from Sénegal.
- Haitian poet”
