Writing Race & Racial Justice
“Our bodies are occupied territories. Perhaps the ultimate goal of performance, especially if you are a woman, gay or a person “of color,” is to decolonize our bodies; and make these decolonizing mechanisms apparent to our audience in the hope that they will get inspired to do the same with their own.” — Guillermo Gómez-Peña

"We must challenge all those who insist that women who act or dress in a feminine manner take on a submissive or passive posture. For many of us, dressing or acting feminine is something we do for ourselves, not for others. Its our way of reclaiming our own bodies and fearlessly expressing our own personalities and sexualities. Its not us who are guilty of trying to reduce our bodies to mere playthings, but rather those who foolishly assume that our feminine style is a signal that we sexually subjugate ourselves to men."

"It’s why I am a writer – I don’t say “decided” to be, or “became”. It was not an act of will or even a conscious choice. To avoid the narrow mesh of [my adoptive mother’s] story I had to be able to tell my own."

"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."
