BELL HOOKS
- We come up with new ways to protect and defend a way of thinking.
- To me ‘white supremacy’ is the best term that we can have for a Black five year old, who is washing his skin with bleach, after having looked at television, and can understand, ‘white is better’.
- I think people are hungry for dissent. People are hungry for truth. (Book: Yearning)
‘The challenge of love, is to share belonging.
The belonging that is inclusive.’
AUDRE LORDE
“I was going to die, if not sooner than later, whether or not I had ever spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.”
