Thylias Moss quotes about
The writer in me can look as far as an African-American woman and stop. Often that writer looks through the African-American woman. Race is a layer of being, but not a culmination.
Anger becomes limiting, restricting. You can't see through it. While anger is there, look at that, too. But after a while, you have to look at something else.
Let heartbreak be alternative to coffe break, five midmorning minutes devoted to emotion.
Race is a layer of being, but not a culmination.
