Ross had never seen Kimmie look so lost. He understood her trepidation, understood that this was all a massive deal. But they were doing it for Chelle. Whatever else they had to do would pale into insignificance if they made sure she was safe. If they could just see her…
He shook his head and gave Kimmie’s shoulder a squeeze. ‘This place is rubbish,’ he noted, trying to ease his own nerves as well as hers. The castle might not have been as grand as the one they’d just left, but it was far more intimidating. The stonework was dark and it looked as though every window had some kind of bearing on it.
'What if this was all an act of war?’ Kimmie said, her voice tiny.
Ross flinched slightly. Not just at the thought of a possible war, but the hopelessness behind her voice. Kimmie was usually able to find some hope, to think about the better side of things.
'Hey,’ he said softly, speaking to her as though calming a terrified animal, 'I’m with you, you know that.’
Kimmie shot him a grateful smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
So Ross steeled himself; he straightened his back and rolled his shoulders. 'Come on. Let’s go find Chelle and bring her home.’

“Black women can certainly have stronger and more assertive conversations with our medical providers so that their medical racism doesn't get into in the way.
Yeah, but you really can't self-help yourself out of white supremacy. It's not just all in your head.
Reproductive justice comes out of Black women's experience. Because Black women are really familiar with creating very universalist theory to explain how the world works. I mean, it is rumored that all civilization began out of Black women's womb. So are we surprised?
But no, I think that when Kimberly Crenshaw named intersectionality, she transformed the world. And I believe reproductive justice has had that same impact. It's not that you create something out of old whole cloth. What you've done is name a phenomena that changes how everybody sees something. I mean, Newton didn't invent gravity, but he certainly changed the world when he named it.
And that's how, that's what we do with Black feminist theory. We change the world when we name things.”
—Professor Loretta Ross, on Black Maternal Health
