Quotes by Zakiya Dalila Harris  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“With heightened awareness of cultural sensitivity comes great responsibility. If we’re not careful, ‘diversity’ might become an item people start checking off a list and nothing more—a shallow, shadowy thing with but one dimension.”
Zakiya Dalila Harris, The Other Black Girl

“Even when you just subtly imply that a white person is racist—especially a white man—they think it’s the biggest slap in the face ever. They’d rather be called anything other than a racist. They’re ready to fight you on it, tooth and nail.”
Zakiya Dalila Harris, The Other Black Girl

“You know social justice doesn't take breaks for dinner.”
Zakiya Dalila Harris, The Other Black Girl
