The Mania of Love Quotes

“My baby boy, at eight, struggled with his identity already. A lot of it was because of his father telling him that he didn’t like it when Griffin identified as being black. He told my baby he was an “other”. Griffin is as smart as a whip, but he is still eight. When he told me and Vi that, she made sure to tell him that one drop of melanin makes him black.”
― Mel Dau, The Mania of Love
