Proverbs 31:29 states “Many Women do Noble things, but You Surpass them all.” There are women born to witness, and there are women born to remember. You are both. And something more still. You are the knowing before the question. The prayer said in a grandmother’s hum. You are literature. The language you gave us—soft and searing—sounded like home. It danced in the mouth like a freedom song. You made Black girlhood holy and Black womanhood a cathedral. You did not ask for worship. But still, we praise you. You did not seek legacy. But still, you are eternal. You braided a lineage. Threaded the stories of our mothers, sisters, aunties, and daughters into a single sacred cloth and said: Here. Wear this truth. We live in your spirit. For our 55th, it feels only right—divine, even—that we return to the woman who spoke in spirit and in truth, the one who made ESSENCE feel like home, healing, and a hallelujah: Susan L. Taylor.
