About Me

"I do not believe/our wants have made all our lies/holy." (Audre Lorde) What lies between the lines are the things that women of color do not tell each other. There are reasons for our silences: the change in the generation between mother and daughter, the language barriers between us, our sexual identity, the educational opportunities we had or missed, the specific cultural history of our race, the physical conditions of our bodies and our labor. As Audre Lorde stated, "Difference is that raw and powerful connection from which our personal power is forged."(This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color) travel layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com
