Katura J. Hudson

I bought this shirt earlier this year. I first read bell hooks in college, and this was my visual reminder to revisit the work of the woman who introduced me to Black feminist thought. I didn’t want to put it on until I had actually done what the shirt said. But today I changed my mind. It’s not too late to revisit or read for the first time. Grateful her words are eternal.

Sometimes quotes are for inspiration. Sometimes they’re for affirmation and confirmation. Reason 5011 why I keep James Baldwin’s words with me. Photo description: selfie of me in a gray t-shirt, with James Baldwin’s quote in white text: “I can’t believe what you say because I see what you do.”

For Women's History Month, Librarian and scholar Edith Campbell invited authors to share what they imagine for Black girls. For me, it's feeling free. Read my post on her blog .
