To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.

A collection of quotes from Black women's writing.

Black Women Said is a project of Afrolicious.

In this space, we are collecting quotes from Black women in media both famous and not-yet-famous, from books, journals, magazines, essays, blogs, interviews, videos and media of all forms.

With your help, by the end of this summer, we hope to have a substantial archive of twenty and twenty-first century works by Black women.

Thank you so much for participating!
