I am forever grateful to bell hooks for saving my sanity when I was in graduate school and for teaching me how to show up, speak truth, take up space, and know my worth in the Academy.
Take your rest, Sister…

Her writing was required reading in seminary. She made me squirm and think in ways few others have. The quote you used here is a perfect example.

I like that she made folks squirm. Her writing helped me find a way to do that too. I wasn’t as “tame” my last years of grad school as I was my first years.

She had such an extraordinary mind. I think any black woman who comes across her thinking is stunned, in the best way. She was pure brilliance. May blessing surround her in her rest.
