“The week before the election, I was happy in Geneva. I watched the returns on CNN in the middle of the night in Switzerland and entertained fantasies of becoming an ex-pat as the realization of what we are facing became concrete. “Then… I came home. Who’s to say we can’t be stars for each other?” -Ava DuVernay on IG
It’s bittersweet to so often be referred to as “the first black woman” to do things. It’s tragic that firsts are still being made at this late hour. How can I celebrate myself as the first when so many more talented, creative people came before, but weren’t allowed the opportunities?

Everywhere. All over the place. There's connective tissue. All of this, all of it... is linked.
