I’ve carrying a book of her poems in my daily bag for months now, just because. Peace to her.




So I was just reading the obit the Washington Post published, and they have several pictures of her with her son as a baby. The obit mentions that she’s never disclosed who the father is, only her son, close family/friends, and “the FBI knows.”

I’ve never seen a picture of her son—nor have I ever invested close attention to her personal life—but when I saw that baby, my impulse thought was: “man, that baby looks like…..”

RIP to Ms Nikki first and foremost.



I've never seen a picture of her son until now either. Do you think they did this the natural way or used science?

You lack reading comprehension and it’s painful to observe.

Name a modern, contemporary equivalent black female poet to Nikki Giovanni. You think Meg the Stallion is her equal?

Rapsody

Culture is so dumbed down these days.

What’s the contemporary equivalent to this?

Ta Nehisi Coates speaking to Meg the Stallion?

Dont shyt on TaNeshi. That would be more a Charmalagne & Megan convo

I like TNC. I can think of a modern echo of Baldwin (Coates) but not of Giovanni.
