Black girl Quote by Renee Watson
““But when I leave? It happens again. The shattering. And this makes me wonder if a black girl's life is only about being stitched together and coming undone, being stitched together and coming undone. I wonder if there's ever a way for a girl like me to feel whole. Wonder if any of these women can answer that.””
