About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
#1 America loves sassy Black women, but sass is just a more palatable form of rage. Black women use sass to express their anger, but they are often dismissed as irrational, crazy, and out of touch.
#2 Black women have the right to be angry. We have been dreaming of freedom and carving out spaces for liberation since we arrived on these shores. We understand what it means to love ourselves in a world that hates us, and we know what it means to do a lot with very little.
#3 I have used my anger to help others, but I have also had to learn how to control it. I have always been a feminist, and I have always carried around Audre Lorde’s book Sister Outsider like it was the feminist bible.
#4 The sisters have figured out how to corral all that power into precise serves and shots that are nearly unmatched. They have created this kind of alchemy that uses their physical strength and strategic prowess on the court, together with all the racial slurs and insults they have endured over the years, to create something that looks magical to the rest of us.
