Well we now know she’d need a lot more than good luck. The erasure of dark women by our own people is deeply wounding. Staples and stitches can’t hold the ragged edges together because people keep tearing at our skins!
My mother looked like this girl! Beautiful but scorned by racists for her skin. Pretty for a black girl they used to say. This caste system holds like a serial killer has got you throttled by the neck.
This young lady interviewing her is a little obsequious. That question about the Obamas was really a bridge too far to cross for me. What has that got to do with anything? So glad she said what she said - we’re not friends and don’t ever say that. This gilding of certain people is absurd. It’s out of place in a literary setting imho unless it’s their books you’re talking about. Silly. Stop asking her these dumb personal questions. It’s invasive and I wonder whether you would ask Francine Prose or Elena Ferrante these sort of questions? She is not one of your little friends. Please stop.
That was very helpful thank you so much
Fr the ending really is a big “good luck”
