But I think Toni Morrison would tell me (in many ways she has already told me) to be mindful of the way I let racism and sexism distract me from the labor of love I am called to do. The less time I spend giving explanations to people who don’t really wanna understand anything, the more time I get to develop my own crafts and my own romance with the world around me. “There will always be one more thing.” I won’t continue to be distracted by notions of inferiority and suffering because I already know that’s not my truth.
