Black Women Said

“
The time has come to tell the truth. Again. There is no love without justice. Men and women who cannot be just deny themselves and everyone they choose to be intimate with the freedom to know mutual love. If we remain unable to imagine a world where love can be recognized as a unifying principle that can lead us to seek and use power wisely, then we will remain wedded to a culture of domination that requires us to choose power over love.

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!
