I will always remember and be grateful for the days in our youth when we talked about black women's narratives and our vision of transforming culture with bodaciousness. Thanks for your intellect, your talking back, and all the times you made me laugh. Rest in Peace.

bell hooks had an enormous impact on my thinking -from when I heard her speak at the University of Illinois Feminist Conference in the 1970's. She was the writer I most wanted to bring to the University Kentucky Women Writers Conference in the 1980's. No longer was there a need to argue over racism vs. sexism as she revealed their intersectionality.
