Lorraine O' Grady's writing lived off the page. Her juxtaposition of writing and public performance were reminders that fluidity can be photographed. The revelations are never-ending

Nikki Giovanni, Poet Who Wrote of Black Joy, Dies at 81 As a writer, she tackled race, gender, sex, politics and love. She was also a public intellectual who appeared on television and toured the country.

Nikki Giovanni. Her clarity cut through the bull. Her writing pierced the fog. Her poems are among the first I remember, the first I saw performed. She is the best, bold, and simply. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/o...

Reading "Ramellzee: Racing for Thunder." This art book on the graffiti performance art legend keeps inspiring. Informed by futures, he interrogated the form of letters and created myth much like Sun Ra to elevate consciousness...his and ours. #Afrofuturism
