“My birth experience is not right for everyone, but it was so right for me. I am changed because of that experience, i saw my power and I felt my power, and it's gotten me through a lot of hardship. I tell myself that if i could get through that, I can get through anything. I think women are losing an opportunity by not aspiring to have births in which they are active participants.”

“My birthday cake was her latest project because it was not from a mix but instead built from scratch- the flour, the baking soda, lemon-flavored because at eight that had been my request; I had developed a strong love for sour. We'd looked through several cookbooks together to find just the right one, and the smell in the kitchen was overpoweringly pleasant. To be clear: the bite I ate was delicious. Warm citrus-baked batter lightness enfolded by cool deep dark swirled sugar.”

“My birthday is in March, and that year it fell during an especially bright spring week, vivid and clear in the narrow residential streets where we lived just a handful of blocks south of Sunset. The night-blooming jasmine that crawled up our neighborhood's front gate released its heady scent at dusk, and to the north, the hills rolled charmingly over the horizon, houses tucked into the brown. Soon, daylight savings time would arrive, and even at early nine, I associated my birthday with the first hint of summer, with the feeling in classrooms of open windows and lighter clothing and in a few months no more homework. My hair got lighter in spring, from light brown to nearly blond, almost like my mother's ponytail tassel. In the neighborhood gardens, the agapanthus plants started to push out their long green robot stems to open up to soft purples and blues.”

“My birthplace was California, but I couldn't forget Armenia, so what is one's country? Is it land of the earth, in a specific place? Rivers there? Lakes? The sky there? The way the moon comes up there? And the sun? Is one's country the trees, the vineyards, the grass, the birds, the rocks, the hills and summer and winter? Is it the animal rhythm of the living there? The huts and houses, the streets of cities, the tables and chairs, and the drinking of tea and talking? Is it the peach ripening in summer heat on the bough? Is it the dead in the earth there?”

“My Bittersweet Penance I know I can’t always have what I want in life, and that’s okay. You could have loved me, and I could’ve been yours. We probably would have been happy... Probably!! But I love you enough to let you go, and I won’t be selfish this time. I accept that you’re not mine, and that’s okay. Who am I to get mad at you for not loving me back? Who am I to question you for loving someone else? But I love you enough to let you go, and I won’t be selfish this time. I have loved you from the shadows I could have come into the light and claimed you as mine. I could have told you how I feel about you, But I love you enough to let you go, and I won’t be selfish this time. You deserve the most genuine kind of happiness in life And if you find that kind of happiness with someone else, it’s okay. It truly is painful to see the one you love someone else. But I love you enough to let you go, and I won’t be selfish this time. If this is the only way for me to see you smile every day, If this is the only way to set things right and heal the hurt I have caused, I will happily let you go... If this is the only way for my redemption, I will happily embrace this penance I will let you go, but still love you... Loving you is my only option because YOU’RE MY BITTERSWEET PENANCE”

“My Blackness is just too much for some people to handle. I’m a confident, intelligent, beautiful, and powerful Black woman with greatness inside my DNA. I’m also straightforward, authentic, and unapologetic. I’m a driven, resilient Black woman with integrity, and I gladly take on challenges with my head held high. I’m not afraid to use my voice, I’m not afraid to be uniquely me, I’m not afraid to stand alone, and I’m not afraid to step outside of my comfort zone. I’m a Black Queen that doesn’t make excuses, I find solutions. I won’t apologize for being exquisite!”
