Black Expressive Style: Deep, Direct, and Vivid

"I am the first and the last
I am the honored one and the scorned one
I am the whore and the holy one
I am the wife and the virgin
I am the barren one and many are my daughters. ...
I am the silence that you cannot understand. ...
I am the utterance of my name."

Julie Dash, 1991
