Rest in Power, Lorraine O’Grady.

So many of us working in Black creative traditions are her intellectual children. We have been lucky.

It is a big and sad thing to lose her and Nikki Giovanni so close together.
Lorraine O'Grady lifted me up with her intellect, her wit, her nerve. This assignment came at a point in my life when I needed it and didn't even know. She was a blessing.

I am saddened to know Lorraine has passed, and I am endlessly grateful to her. She lit flames that will never go out. 🖤
