In “A Handful of Earth, a Handful of Sky: The World of Octavia E. Butler,” author Lynell George shares the world that shaped Octavia E. Butler and explores the particular processes through which Butler shaped herself — her unique process of self-making.

Octavia E. Butler’s work teaches us to balance grief and hope, to leverage imagination and envision ourselves beyond limitations. How did she do it?

You really must get comfortable with celebrating yourself. It’s so healing. Waiting for others to do so causes unrealistic expectations. Celebrate you always.

Enjoy the accomplishment without trying to find another one. Savor the moment. Give thanks. Breathe. It’s okay to rest.

“My feeling is that white people have a very, very serious problem. And they should start thinking about what they can do about it.” - Toni Morrison
It seems necessary to point out that I am criticizing the idiocy of contemporary media when it comes to anything involving POC, not criticizing POC. I thought this was obvious. But no.
