For ridding oneself of faith is like boiling seawater to retrieve the salt—something is gained but something is lost.
from White Teeth By Zadie Smith
…They cannot escape their history any more than you yourself can lose your shadow.

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!
