“The function of freedom is to free someone else, and if you are no longer wracked or in bondage to a person or way of life, tell your story. Risk freeing someone else.”

— Toni Morrison

“The white fathers told us, ‘I think, therefore I am.’ The Black mother within each of us, the poet, whispers in our dreams: ‘I feel, therefore I can be free.’”

— Audre Lorde
