"Black people were never in romance novels, unless it was as a hooker."
"That’s some white people shit," I imagined everyone thinking.
"For a split second, you think, how am I gonna help a white baby out? But then it was like, 'This is a baby, girl. Get it together.'"
“We lived together but pretended to be roommates.”
I can’t take for granted that I’ll be welcomed with open arms. One memory comes to mind…
"I want this to be a sanctuary for my family, as well as other BIPOC folks who need to rest."
