"Not everyone will see you for who you really are. Some people will be tuned to a different frequency, and that will hurt. But the more honestly you offer yourself to the world, the more you give the right people a chance to know you.” ~Daniel H. Shapiro

A personal loss for me, the poetry community, an Hertfordshire, England. 🙏🏾
I didn't get a chance to say "goodbye" to my dear friend and mentor, @scottie131313. 😥
He was a gift. He was a diamond.
Shine on, dearest Scottie. Your work will continue to reach across the globe 💎💎

@Joseph_Fasano_ Joseph, thank you for sharing your forthcoming work. I share your sentiments about why writing in this space and doing this work is important, why finding and sharing the light is imperative. Let's stay in touch, share our stories and support our work in this new season.

[Rochelle Soetan @rsoetan]

We walked around 3 long corridors at Voice of America, Nikki Giovanni and I. This rare opportunity gave me a moment in time with her, to chat about how her literature changed me as a teen, how it made me write more, and how it covered me, like a cloak. Shine on, Giovanni. ⭐️💔

[Rochelle Soetan @rsoetan]

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference. ✌🏾

Thank you #JamieLeeCurtis
