If you're just learning about Nikki Giovanni, there's no shame. You can always read her words and meet her on the page.

Nikki Giovanni, “Balances” In life one is always balancing like we juggle our mothers against our fathers or one teacher against another (only to balance our grade average) 3 grains of salt to one ounce truth our sweet black essence or the funky honkies down the street and lately i've begun wondering if you're trying to tell me something we used to talk all night and do things alone together and i've begun (as a reaction to a feeling) to balance the pleasure of loneliness

RIP Nikki Giovanni, a giant.

Nikki Giovanni was one of my earliest models for how you can age in grace and wisdom without submitting to being defanged by Respectability Politics.

She had some bite until the end.
