“That's also part of having great editors -- they can sort of be honest with you and say, "I see where you're headed with this, but I don't think it's there yet.

And it all comes together in something soooo much better than you thought you were capable of.” ThinkingWritingTogetherWalksMillionsHonestCapableDown AndDeeperEightBlockBeing HonestEditorsBetter Than YouBabeDig Deep Author:Victoria Laurie
“Any Black person in amerika [sic], if they are being honest with themselves, have got to come to the conclusion that they don't know what it feels like to be free. We aren't free politically, economically, or socially. We have very little power over what happens in our lives. In fact, a Black person isn't free to walk down the street. Walk down the wrong street, in the wrong neighborhood at night, and you know what happens.” IfsKnowsFeelsLittlesPersonsFactsHappensNightBlackWalksOur LivesStreetsHonestConclusionBeing HonestNeighborhoodBlack Person Author:Assata Shakur

“When I have my Afro and walk down the street, there's no doubt that I'm black. With this [straightened] hair, if I talk about being black on air, viewers write and say, "You're black?!" I feel [straightening your hair] is giving up a sense of your identity. Let's be honest: It's an effort to look Anglo-Saxon.” IfsGivingFeelsWritingLooksBlackWalksEffortDoubtAirStreetsHonestIdentityHairGiving UpBeing HonestNo DoubtViewersAfrosAnglo Saxon Author:Jami Floyd
