Jasmine Mans - FIRE
“What do you think will happen
When you set the black girl on fire?
Her ashes will decorate the lungs of all the men
who tried to take her from herself
soot will pour from their mouths
and we will watch them choke”
05
Nayo Jones - "Healing"
''Loving you is taking all the love I could never give myself and putting it to good use. It is reminding myself that if someone can love a dying thing this way... then I can try to breathe again because self-love doesn’t always come first…''
06
Sabrina Benaim - "Explaining My Depression to My Mother"
