116 Notes

This genre is rooted in the epic — and the truth is that there are plenty of epics out there which feature people like me. Sundiata’s badass mother. Dihya, warrior queen of the Amazighs. The Rain Queens. The Mino Warriors. Hatshepsut’s reign. Everything Harriet Tubman ever did. And more, so much more, just within the African components of my heritage.

—N.K. Jemisin, “Dreaming Awake,” an essay on being a woman of color writing fantastic fiction (via matociquala).

This is a great article
