Nikki Giovanni was one of the first writers I met in NYC, already a voice for Civil Rights. Her energy and commitment to sharing knowledge were palpable.
With her rhythmic, lyrical delivery, Nikki was hip hop before it had a name, reminding us of our purpose and strength within the Black community.
Attending her readings felt like a concert, with cheers overshadowing anything in popular culture today; her art was a clarion call for empowerment.
The impact of Nikki's work, including 'Ego Tripping,' resonates deeply with many, serving as a personal mantra for overcoming personal and collective struggles.
