"Do not believe that your anger has to be polite. That you need to be liked. They tell you how “proper” women should interact & react. That anger is mere emotion. As if anger has not changed laws, as if anger is notneeded to disrupt what hurts us. As if anger cannot be righteous." — Ijeoma Umebinyuo @theijeoma

…and I see a lot alike despising the very people who sacrificed and still sacrifice their life to make *who they think they are*.The irony of LIFE.May we not become them…..

Nobody warned you 
that the women whose feet 
you cut from running 
would give birth to 
daughters with wings. - @theijeoma —— Photography of @trevor_stuurman #StuurmanStyleDiary —— with @vliscofashion @asiyami_gold —— #trevorstuurman #theijeoma #nobodywarnedyou #blackart365

I haven’t come across a collection of poetry that moved me as much as Questions for Ada by @theijeoma in ages. Go read it.

Hurray! My copies of @theijeoma, @sarcolinedream, and @thedesertsighs‘ books arrived! I can’t wait to dive in and read Questions for Ada and You Are The Map for #readwomen in December.
