“I look at Woody Allen's prolific career of 30 or 40 films, and I'm watching the clock. I'd love to work at a clip of a film a year. We don't get the benefit of the doubt, particularly black women. We're presumed incompetent, whereas a white male is assumed competent until proven otherwise. They just think the guy in the ball hat and the T-shirt over the thermal has got it, whether he's got it or not. For buzzy first films by a white male, the trajectory is a 90-degree angle. For us, it's a 30-degree angle.”

“I look at you and see a life we’ve yet to build,
a love that feels inevitable, waiting to unfold. I look at your face and ache to make you smile,
to be the reason your eyes shine just a little brighter. I look at you and want to lift you higher,
to be the arms that catch you, the voice that fuels you. I look at you and dream of a future—our future,
where your children are mine, and mine are yours. I look at you and feel invincible,
as if with you beside me, there’s nothing I can’t conquer. I look at you and hesitate, unsure how to begin,
my heart racing over a name I don’t even know. I look at you as you walk past me,
our silent moment stretching between sips of coffee. I look at you as you turn, as you smile—
and then I look at you drive away with another woman,
because in the end, we are just strangers at the coffee shop.”

“I look at you as you walk in,
another morning, another cup of coffee,
unaware that my world tilts each time you appear. I look at you as you glide past me,
effortless, confident, collecting your order,
but today—today, you turn and smile. I look at you walking toward me,
your presence close enough to steal my breath.
My lips tremble, yet no words escape. I look at you as you ask for my name,
but all I can do is stare, trapped in the moment,
until finally, I whisper—"I’m Marion." I look at you as your smile deepens,
as your lips part to reveal your own name—
but then, she appears. I look at you as your eyes flicker toward her,
the same woman from that day, stepping from your car. My heart clenches—until you turn back and say, “Marion, this is Laura, my sister. We just moved here.” I exhale, a quiet laugh escaping as I meet her eyes.
“Hi, Laura.” I look at you with boldness, a spark of mischief.
"Are you single?" I ask, my voice steady now. I look at you as you grin, as you nod.
"Yes, I am." And suddenly, the future rushes back,
crystal clear, waiting for us to begin.”

“I look at you, and I see the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth. Inside and out you are beautiful. I know you better than anyone else could ever know you, because I can see into your thoughts and read your memories. The very light in you, our tremendous capacity for loving, humbles me.”

“I look back and think of all the times I've had to let things go in the past, and how traumatic it seemed while it was happening, but how my understanding of it changed as time passed - and oftentimes things that seem really difficult and traumatic in the short term seem a lot less difficult and traumatic in the long term. So I remind myself of that.”
