When Writing Makes You Go "Ughhhhhh"

Every now and then I come across a piece of writing that is just on the money.  And I cannot help myself from audibly agreeing.  So if you catch my face cloaked in the light of my phone or glazed over while on my laptop and you here "ugh," you know I hit something good. 

While doing some light research I cam across Tressie McMillan Cottom's essay When Your (Brown) Body is a (White) Wonderland from her blog Some of Us Are Brave.  I could not help but throw the hands up and let out an "uggggh."

Below is the line that did it. 
​

"Being desirable is a commodity. Capital and capitalism are gendered systems. The very form that money takes — paper and not goods — is rooted in a historical enterprise of controlling the development of an economic sphere where women might amass wealth. As wealth is a means of power in a capitalistic society, controlling this means of acceptable monies was a way of controlling the accumulation, distribution and ownership of capital."

Check out more of Tressie McMillan Cottom on her blog Some of Us Are Brave where she writes about absolutely everything! So in love already.

Happy reading everyone!
