Audre Lorde
[m]y fullest concentration of energy is available to me only when I integrate all the parts of who I am, openly, allowing power from particular sources of my living to flow back and forth freely through all my different selves, without the restrictions of externally imposed definition. Only then can I bring myself and my energies as a whole to the service of those struggles which I embrace as part of my living.
(Audre Lorde, “Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference”, 1984, p. 121)
