“Where is your fire? I say where is your fire? Can’t you smell it coming out of our past? The fire of living…not dying. The fire of loving…not killing. The fire of Blackness…not gangster shadows. Where is our beautiful fire that gave light to the world? The fire of pyramids; The fire that burned through the holes of slaveships and made us breathe; The fire that made guts into chitterlings; The fire that took rhythms and made jazz; The fire of sit-ins and marches that made us jump boundaries and barriers; The fire that took street talk sounds and made righteous imhotep raps. Where is your fire, the torch of life full of Nzingha and Nat Turner and Garvey and DuBois and Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin and Malcolm and Mandela.”
Lovecraft Country Rewind 1921.

"We're no longer asking for a seat at the table," says Smollett of a group of powerful women including Shonda Rhimes and Ava DuVernay, motivated for meaningful change. "We're building our own motherfucking table."
