“Everything is a lesson. And so you have to find out what’s the the lesson, and how do I embrace this lesson, and how do I go forward. And you have to watch out for the bitterness. That’s what you don’t want to be bothered with.” #RipNikkiGiovanni

I’ve carried her quotation in my wallet for 40+ years.

Sad to learn of the great poet Nikki Giovanni's passing yesterday.
She (and especially this book), had a pretty profound influence on me at a pretty young age, especially when it came to understanding how poems can become song lyrics.
And so they have...

Seems like we just keep losing icons whose impact on our world is undeniable. Whose name conjurs up memories of a time, place or emotion.
In all her words and every picture, her aura never faded
#RIPNikkiGiovanni and job well done

Nikki Giovanni has become an ancestor. And while her soul is free, her legacy on this earth will endure. Let me tell you why… youtu.be/T_WwlbRBRow?... #nikkigiovanni #ripnikkigiovanni
“When I came, they sang a song.
When I was born, they sang a song.
When I was saved, they sang a song.
Remember I smiled when I’m gone.
Remember I smiled when I’m gone.
Sing a good song when I’m gone.
We ain’t got long to stay.”

I saw her speak when I went to the Open House for Cornell University. It's one of the reasons I decided to go there, knowing I'd be able to hear such great speakers like her. #RIPNikkiGiovanni
