We unpack her legacy and the implications of her work today.

This week, we celebrate the legacy of poet, children's book author, speaker, teacher and activist Nikki Giovanni who died on December 9th, 2024 at the age of 81. Giovanni's writing and her actions helped make this world a better place for Black people, Queer people, Women, and more. Her strength came forth in her written and spoken words and in the way she chose to live her life. Join us in remembering this extraordinary author and remember to think of her when you look up at the stars - or at a bat.

She published a single book of poetry in her life, but her reach and influence had an impact on dozens of authors and writers around Greenwich Village and beyond. Join us for this inspiring start to 2025!
