“I don’t know what it’s like to be free yet. I hope I don’t cry but I don’t know what it’s like to be free. I’ve never known and so to the degree that I’m not in the same space I was when I was younger, there were still things like in everyday life that add to the silences, to us thinking of ourselves whether it be in our own home or in our offices and so I’m still trying to figure that out. But what I do know is that whatever liberation looks like, I’m not shrinking. I’m not quieting myself. I’m not wearing a bra, for real. I don’t have to worry about my sons being killed, and my daughter being raped. I don’t have to worry that if my husband, if I say no, I don’t want to have sex, that my husband is fine and I don’t know. I’m still trying to figure that one out, babe.”
