“Growing up Fat Black Female and almost blind in America requires so much surviving that you have to learn from it or die. Jenny, rest in peace. I carry tattooed upon my heart a list of names of women who did not survive, and there is always space left for one more, my own. That is to remind me that even survival is only part of the task. The other part is teaching.”
