Lessons from the Briar Patch: Things I Learned from My Magical Omi.

The people in my life who are willing to enter the briar patch are the ones I trust the most. It’s not that they will never cause me pain, but that my voice telling them about my pain will never fall on deaf ears.

Bitch Is Not a Four-Letter Word, And I Call Myself One.
