Sublime

I think these writers are confronted: If she is no longer a beautiful woman in front of the camera, then what is she possibly doing there?

Good stories, like photographs, freeze meaning; they turn memory into memorized lines.

When we dress to be photographed, we increasingly dress to be distributed as an image, and thus transformed into a kind of ad.

when it made me ignore my strength because it wasn’t as valuable as my flexibility, I ignored so much of myself that what I considered acts of perseverance in fact left me with little to persevere for.

When you are speechless, the last place a story lives is in the body. And the body keeps bringing me back here.

Já foi bem estabelecido que o advento da supermodelo danificou a imagem que as mulheres têm de si mesmas, estabelecendo expectativas pouco realistas.

Thank you, Damani Baker, for building a life with me that has space for grief and pleasure, art and children, adventure and peace.
