by Brit Bennett
To Ashley Buckner, who knocked on my dorm room one evening to invite me to dinner and, years later, became someone I cannot imagine my life without; Brian Wanyoike, who pushes me to live largely and think intricately; Ashley Moffett, my oldest friend and first reader. To my family, for all your love and support. And to all the writers and artists and scholars who mothered me, who gave me language, who gave me life.
