I had the chance to meet her when I was an undegraudate many years ago. She came at a point in my then young life where I was all but ready to drop out of univeristy because of a racist incident I experienced after writing an article in my university newspaper. It was at a writers’ conference, and during the after party, I had a chance to tell her what had happened to me. She told me to hang in there and stay strong. Nearly 40 years later, I have a PhD and am working as a research librarian at a major European university. I owe that encouragement to Sister Ntozake. RIP, my sister and dear elder. You will never be forgotten.
@Ron Maimon I did not say pot and assumed you would know I meant cigarettes. Nicotine is a drug contained in cigarettes that wrecks havoc to the circulatory system.
A good educator. Still teaching. Her book, A daughter's geography, expresses why we should travel and embrace the African Diaspora and dance is a good way to communicate.

Don’t do drugs kids
@Ron Maimon With all due respect, Ms Shange was a heavy smoker for many decades which most likely brought on the strokes she suffered.
