“Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape” – bell hooks. More quotes from the activist here:
– the pioneering social justice activist, academic and author – had passed away at the age of 69. The tragic announcement was shared on Twitter yesterday by her niece, Ebony Motley, who revealed that hooks had died from an illness “at home, with family and friends by her side.”
“I believe that this nation can only heal from the wounds of racism if we all begin to love Blackness. And by that I don’t mean that we love only that which is best within us, but that we’re also able to love that which is faltering, which is wounded, which is contradictory, incomplete.” “All too often we think of community in terms of being with folks like ourselves: the same class, same race, same ethnicity, same social standing and the like ... I think we need to be wary: we need to work against the danger of evoking something that we don’t challenge ourselves to actually practice.”
