“No other Merlin can protect you like I can because no other Merlin feels about you the way I do. I want you to live because I want you to be happy. Not because of a spell, but because so very many things would break and go dark if you weren't in the world. Myself included.”
― Tracy Deonn, Bloodmarked

“Black is the reason why I'd die and why I'm breathing/ But above all else, it's just something to believe in.”
― The Reclaim Project, On Blackness and Belonging

“The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth set fire to your movement and find solidarity amongst the ashes.”
― The Reclaim Project, On Blackness and Belonging

“Home is often a conflicted and fractured idea for the Black Diaspora.
...
Many of us live in fracture and know it, even if we can't put it into words.”
― The Reclaim Project, On Blackness and Belonging
