HTL Women in History
These are some of the women who Tori respects, honors, and celebrates. For her, they represent power, strength, dignity, and individuality. They make her proud to be a woman. They make her proud to be a Black woman. They all had a warrior spirit - that 'by any means necessary' spirit. You can say bold, but they were in their purpose and they knew who they were.
They were unstoppable. They used the power of their voices, words, authenticity, purpose, and spirits to launch political movements and change the face of politics, give a voice to the voiceless, enabled humans to successfully achieve space flight to the Moon and back, and ultimately changed the world. They should always be celebrated because they are unlike anyone else...before them or beyond.

HTL Walter Mosley's Take on Toni Morrison
Today we honor and remember on her birthday, the revolutionary writer and thinker, Toni Morrison. Another celebrated novelist, Walter Mosley, shared some insight about her that others may not have known.
This force of nature was an award-winning novelist, theorist, editor and professor, and intellectual that revolutionized thought and storytelling, challenging her readers to dig deeper. She was the first African American woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. Her most celebrated work, Beloved, earned a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and was made into a 1998 film. In 2012, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am (2019) is a documentary about her life and career. She's the mother of all great contemporary novelists of the 21st century including Zadie Smith, Colson Whitehead and Ta-Nehisi Coates.

HTL BHM Short Recap
✍🏽Writing is a form of activism, to help start a movement and push for change. Writing comes in different forms like books, journalism, speeches...and poetry. Poets have been around for years but one is arguably the greatest living poet in the world, and within our history. Not only is she known for her pen work, but for her activism and being an inspirational educator. Hear about the poet who is a prominent figure in Black history...Nikki Giovanni✨
