“In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way... The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray. (The Qur'an- Surah Al-Fatihah)”

“Mi padre era un hombre decente. O, por lo menos, eso que llamaríamos un hombre decente: alguien que, en las pequeñas circunstancias de la vida, prefiere no complicarse con las molestias de la indecencia. Uno que, por ejemplo, si al salir de la panadería desecubre que se lleva, además de las facturas, pebetes y miñones, un cuarto kilo de cuernitos sin pagar, vuelve al local, compone una sonrisa tímida, turbada - que le sale perfecta- e intenta un chiste malo para decirle a la dueña que ha vuelto porque es un hombre decente: -¡Vengo a denunciar un robo! Le dirá, por ejemplo, y que él es el delincuente que acaba de llevarse el cuarto de cuernitos sin previo abono de su precio estipulado. O sea: mi padre era un hombre cómodo, que nunca quiso tomarse el trabajo de ver qué haía un poco más allá de la decencia, de la conveniencia, de los buenos modales y las reglas morales. La decencia, en general, es cuestión de falta de imaginación o de pereza, y mi padre tenía, por lo que sé, bastante de las dos. Aunque, por supuesto, no sé qué habría pasado si alguna vez la tentación de la indecencia lo hubiera asaltado en serio, armada de una buena recompensa. Es fácil ser decente cuando te cuesta un cuarto de cuernitos; de allí en más se hace más y más difícil, hasta que llega al punto en que cada cual encuentra su temperatura de fundido. Si no hay metal que resista el calor pertinente, ¿por qué habría hombres o mujeres? Es - si existen tales cosas - una de esas verdades innegables; sabiéndolo, ¿no es preferible ahorrarse el fuego de decenas, cientos de grados celsius, y fundirse cin tanto despilfarro?”

“Next, I add a layer of Queen Anne's lace, its white clusters representative of the bridal veil worn by Mother and Bitsy, never by me. I can hear Mother's voice, teaching me that the flower is considered a weed by many, but she added it to her wildflower garden intentionally. She claims it has "a rebel heart, its snowflake appearance proof it was never meant to be a summer bloom at all." With its dark-purple center, this renegade flower represents all things feminine: delicate lace, the symbolic purity of snow, the red stain of suffering, and the long, deep taproot that keeps her growing against all odds.”

“#TeamLightSkin vs. #TeamDarkSkin… REALLY, are you serious? To the black females that participate in this garbage, shame on you! Yes, I said it and I won’t take it back. After all that we’ve been through as a race regarding the light-skinned niggers versus the dark-skinned niggers, you’re actually keeping this garbage up? It’s time to wake up my Beautiful Black Queens! Educate yourself and know your history. This shouldn’t be something that we’re entertaining. WE are #TeamMelanin! Period. Enough of the foolishness! Respect yourself. Respect our race. We should be building one another up, not tearing each other down. Melanin is Exquisite Beauty in EVERY shade. Together, WE are strong, unstoppable, and powerful. Enough is enough! I encourage you to stop participating in things that keep us divided. Real Talk!”
