Lorde, the eloquent fighter

 I gain a bounty of wisdom when reading Audre Lorde. I feel her massively eloquent fight against sexism, racism, homophobia and even cancer give me confidence and power. I feel powerful reading Lorde. I feel inspired. Seen. I see her as a necessary voice to read when speaking of black woman liberation. She sees how we are far from invisible but invisible just the same. Our health, our freedom to exist in non-violent spaces, our right to love and be loved - she speaks our names in her texts and we stand on her shoulders as the forthcoming generations taking the next steps toward equality and justice.
