The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are. Now imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn’t have the weight of gender expectations.”

"If it is in fact true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we must make it our culture."
-Chimamanda Adichie in her TedxEuston talk ‘We should all be feminists’

Posting this again because I’m watching it again and you should, too. :D
It’s the invisibility that burns. Amazing writing from all kinds of people is only a search box away – yet, since we are not filed under “listen to,” we are ignored. And we are ignored in favor of people who will admit to not being experts on the topic or not having certain types of experiences. This is when we start moving into erasure territory. It isn’t that we are not out there, putting work into the public consciousness. It’s that our words don’t count until they fall from the lips of a white girl.

…if I didn’t know what it was to lose all of my friends and have to make new ones, if I didn’t know what it felt like to be an outsider, I wouldn’t have left my dark bedroom of fear. If I knew what it was to be skinny and perfect and seen as such and to be just plucked out of the ether for my beauty from an early age and if I didn’t have to find it for myself and know that pain and struggle of creating your own identity, I wouldn’t be Afrobella.

I’m learning how important it is to be self-defining and self-affirming. I want, one day, to not need my worth validated by someone else- not my mother, or the lover who falls asleep unexpectedly, or my thesis advisor. I NEED to feel that I am awesome, sincerely, and not disingenuously. I also, beloveds, want that feeling for you.
Jo Nubian: On the Struggle for Self Love
If ever your rights are threatened, know that I will roar for you–and that sound that will escape this bodily cage where I’ve kept it corralled, will be like nothing you have heard or are likely to hear again.
Stacia L. Brown: Things We Whisper, Things We Shout.
Words are everything. Words are empires; they are ruins. Words are the fiery dragon and the watery balm that extinguishes. They rouse the beast and tame the serpent. Words impress and belittle. They mock and exhort and destroy.

A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself"
- Maya Angelou
Can you help us source this quote? Where did Maya Angelou write this? Thanks!
Feminista is … the modern woman who is making her own choices, whether it's wearing a short skirt and red lipstick to the office (perhaps one that she runs) or staying home to raise babies. Being a feminista is about tapping into our unique female attributes and living authentically instead of defining ourselves by male standards of success.
Q&A with Feminista author Erica Kennedy
“You don’t even see how racist that question is.”
Toni Morrison in response, when asked by a white female reporter if she never felt compelled to write white characters. (via blackwomensaid)
Did that white woman seriously ask THE QUEEN that fucking question???

See. Y'all. This is why black girl tumblr is life. Yaymen.
The time has come to tell the truth. Again. There is no love without justice. Men and women who cannot be just deny themselves and everyone they choose to be intimate with the freedom to know mutual love. If we remain unable to imagine a world where love can be recognized as a unifying principle that can lead us to seek and use power wisely, then we will remain wedded to a culture of domination that requires us to choose power over love.

"First, forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not ... Forget talent. If you have it, fine. Use it. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter. As habit is more dependable than inspiration, continued learning is more dependable than talent ... Finally, don't worry about imagination. You have all the imagination you need ... Persist."
from "Furor Scribendi" by Octavia Butler
