Love this piece. "Eartha Kitt and Prince and Nikki Giovanni and bell hooks and Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou are not known for working. They are known for BEING who and what they were meant to be in the world" You spoke an entire word then. It made me stop and take pause. As I am aging (59 this year) and not so darn gracefully, I have been saying I don't wish to do anything in particular I just wanna be. Thank you for giving voice and validation to my feelings.

I am so happy that it made you feel validated! It took me forever to find the right words so I’m glad they hit as they were meant to
