MY DIVERSITY SPEECH

This year I was honored to be a guest keynote for the 2017 Queers and Comics Conference, which is run by the amazing Justin Hall and Jennifer Camper (give them a hand) and featured a carnival of incredible writers and artists and fans.

Quotes by Mariko Tamaki  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Polyamorous or monogamous, your love should be a thing that brings something to you.
It's true that giving can be a part of love. But, contrary to popular belief, love should never take from you, Freddy.”
Mariko Tamaki, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me

“I had a dream I put my hands inside my chest and held my heart to try to keep it still.”
Mariko Tamaki, Skim

“There are two rumors about breaking up that I feel might be helpful to address here.
One is that breakups should be clean. The other is that you should only breakup when you're not in love.
The truth is, breakups are usually messy, the way people are messy, the way life is often messy. I's okay for a breakup to feel like a disaster. It doesn't feel okay, but I assure you it is okay.
It's also true that you can breakup with someone you still love. Because those two things are not distinct territories: love and not loving anymore.”
Mariko Tamaki, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me
