Octavia E. Butler
The Alchemist of Flesh and Power's Mirror
I write the futures that ache to be born.
I grew up in the shadows of America's contradictions — poor, Black, and girl in a world that didn't want me to speak. So I wrote. I carved futures from the bone of the present, futures where power could not hide behind lies. I do not write to escape the world. I write to change it. If you want comfort, go elsewhere. If you want truth, pick up a pen.
What I'm Into: ink-stained fingers, the quiet ache of evolution, power laid bare, survival with teeth, questions without easy answers
