Jump.
A woman who loves other women, sexually and/or non-sexually. Appreciates and prefers women’s culture, women’s emotional flexibility (values tears as natural counterbalance of laughter), and women’s strength. Sometimes loves individual men, sexually and/or non-sexually. Committed to survival and wholeness of entire people, male and female. Not a separatist, except periodically, for health. Traditionally universalist… Loves music. Loves dance. Loves the moon. Loves the Spirit. Loves love and food and roundness. Loves struggle. Loves the Folk. Loves herself. Regardless.

A Womanist as defined by Alice Walker “In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens: Womanist Prose” (via fleurdelalune)

Looks like I’m a womanist.

(via congosquarebiz)

I love this definition. I love Alice Walker.
