Bethanee Epifani Quotes

“While protesting in the street, I am fighting for the rights of my community. While navigating my community, I am fighting to be loved. What more do Black women have to sacrifice to be loved by Black men? To be seen as worthy of fighting for. We have given everything. What have you given in return, Beloved? I cannot fight for you, and fight against you. I cannot honor your spirit, while you diminish mine.”

“Black folks, it's ok to celebrate an end to the Trump Presidency while questioning the future of our nation. It's ok to celebrate Kamala Harris and still denounce white supremacy. It's ok to celebrate the work we contributed to this election while understanding that the fight is not over. It's ok to have a celebratory moment despite scattered emotions. We've always given ourselves permission to express hope & joy even during dark times.”

“America has never been a moral authority. America is a moral contradiction. It is a mirage of unity and freedom that disappears as soon as I reach out to touch it. As white America crumbles underneath the weight of it's hypocrisy, delusions of grandeur, and historical cruelty, Black America must be a resource and a beacon of light unto itself. Leave them in the shadows. We will carry the light and ensure our own survival and success.”
