An entry from This Bridge Called My Back that I thought was important would have to be “I’m sick of seeing and touching. Both sides of things. Sick of being the damn bridge for everybody….” I think it’s important since it’s trying to say how it’s hard to stay strong when they’re facing all of these problems everyday. For instance, trying to make sure that they have enough food to feed a family or paying the bills on time. That women of color have to take on all of these roles in order to make sure that they could take care of everyone else. That it’s hard to act so strong for everyone.
