@storyseekers event 09 : anticipated 2021 read — love in color by bolu babalola
— time was constructed with love in mind.
a collection of retold fairytales, myths, legends, and folklore from around the world, with an emphasis on decolonizing the tropes inherent in these tales.
Excerpt: [ “These mirrors know our secrets. They witnessed our wild, our highs spent riding the wind and they watched as all the storms started circling our dunes … Strangers once, turned to strangers again. And if these mirrors could speak.. Their voices just might crack, and shake, and shatter the glass into fragments … Take a piece of my Love, we been through enough stuff, now we need to grow up, and Away.” — Mereba, video for Sandstorm (2019) ]

"There's nothing feminist about having so many resources at your fingertips and choosing to be ignorant. Nothing empowering or enlightening in deciding that intent trumps impact. Especially when the consequences aren't going to be experienced by you, but will instead be experienced by someone from a marginalized community."
