I’m so grateful I came across this! It feels like it was sent to me in a time of great need…it did come to me in a time of great need.

I throughly enjoyed her insight. I have her books that I will revisit. Thank you for placing a headstone on Ms Hurstons grave sight. 💜💥

How was this about Zora Neale Hurston?

[@stephu1332]

Seriously? Who else it Walker talking about? Did you listen to this talk to the end? 🤔

[@megancombs6276]

@@stephu1332 - yeah, i think Barefoot had certain expectations that were not met in AW's speech. It was beautiful and meandering in the best way, imho. There were so many little connections sprinkled throughout that made me consider how to look at the world differently. However, I did have to play it at 1.5x for most of the video bc i'm too impatient rn to sit still and slow

False, Columbus never set foot on the continent but rather, he only set foot in the Carribeans
