Words are everything. Words are empires; they are ruins. Words are the fiery dragon and the watery balm that extinguishes. They rouse the beast and tame the serpent. Words impress and belittle. They mock and exhort and destroy.
Stacia L. Brown: The Irretrievable Word (or Mo’ Public, Mo’ Problems)

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!
