Quote by Malebo Sephodi

“whenever we encounter the name Octavia E. Butler, some of us feel a shift, a deep, spiritual resonance that defies comprehension. it doesn't matter how many times we engage with her words, that something lingers, stirring, moving, shifting. and as the timeline stretches, the reasons begin to reveal themselves. when the darkness swells in me, i return to these fragments of her life, hoping to witness the absolute breath and depth of my own words in this lifetime. because Octavia E. Butler showed us how.”

“Sis, here’s a gentle reminder to take time out for yourself. As Black women, we’re always doing something, but I encourage you to give yourself permission to simply rest. Calm your thoughts, allow your soul to breathe, eat nourishing foods that fuel your body, and drink healthy smoothies, teas, and water to nourish your cells. Do the small things that bring you relaxation, peace, and joy.”

“As a Black woman, I don’t see Black women’s empowerment as just making us feel good. It’s about keeping it real and helping us grow, too. Empowerment means having honest conversations that challenge us to become the best versions of ourselves. We have to be willing to talk about the hard and uncomfortable things as well. True empowerment means being open to correction. Personal growth doesn’t always feel good, but it’s necessary. If you truly want to be a powerful Black woman of substance, you have to be honest with yourself, intentional about your growth, and willing to put in the work. It’s time for us to step our game up and embrace empowerment in every area of our lives! It’s time to step fully into the Phenomenal Black Women we were created to be! It’s OUR time, Queens.”
