R.I.P. Ntozake Shange.
Thank you for your poetic brilliance, generosity, and boldness. I got my favorite line that you wrote tatted on my right ribs as a reminder to myself to love myself unconditionally. As a reminder that self love is a revolutionary act and that it is a daily practice. As a reminder that all I need to be is myself and that my light will glow radiantly from within. As a reminder to love myself fiercely first, over all things and all people. Thank you, you saved my life.
