Patronus: I would choose the image of the buffalo, because it is the symbol of the orixá who is my mother, Oyá

Fav Quote: “I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my nose holes – everywhere. Until it’s every breath I breathe. I’m going to go out like a fucking meteor!”: Audre Lorde
