“…and my mother again would say to me you can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you and these words plagued and bothered me; I didn’t really understand them until finally I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be.”

I can only hope fervently that the day will come when words of genius they will not be identified as black woman’s speech or white woman’s speech or any gender identified speech but will be valued for the genius of it all alone.
Da truth
