<p dir="auto">Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, and Walter dean Myers are my three favorites. The first elective class I ever took in college was on influential black female writers. That’s how I got introduced to “Beloved” and “ The Bluest Eye,” two of Toni Morrison’s most accclaimed works.<br />
As for poets I grew up reading Langston Hughes, Paul Lawrence Dunbar , and Maya Angelou. What can be said about Maya Angelou? She’s written some of the most inspiring poems on female empowerment. “Does my sexiness upset you?” If “Still I Rise”  was released in 2019 it would be in the caption of every woman’s Instagram posts and part of every social media profile.<br />
Writers of all cultures  and backgrounds must be celebrated.<br />

<p dir="auto">What true admirer of Hurston would forget to mention her equally-groundbreaking work as a folklorist and cultural anthropologist, or that she died impoverished and relatively unknown, or that it was the feminist critics of the 70s that brought her work back into the spotlight?<br />
