We gained an ancestor. • What an accomplished writer. The writings of my people never cease to amaze me. Our gifts and talents are infinite. • She wrote for us to see ourselves in her stories. She said that she wrote her first novel because she wanted to read it. • We must continue to carry the baton and write the stories that we want to read, where we see ourselves...it’s crucial! Thank you Toni Morrison for your dedication to US! Rest in Power! 🖤 .
