I taught "Nikki-Rosa" in my Intro to Poetry to class this semester and students really got into it and got it. May Nikki Giovanni's work be read and taught widely. What a voice.

As I point out, you can't be a good woman while being physically strong; can't be a good woman if not pretty in a specific way; can't be a good woman if you are of ___ religion, race, ethnicity, class, caste, gender identity, or sexuality that the majority decides to attack.

Today at 5 p.m. at the Brooklyn Ripped Bodice! We'll celebrate the heroism and happiness of romance heroines (even as a storm named after one of Shax's most tragic female characters dissipates over the city). I'll be masked as if we're at a Regency masquerade ball...

What’s heroic in the romance heroine? What does she have in common w/athletes fighting to wear shorts instead of bikinis? Or w/authors who write books that some want to mock? Or w/immigrants who are denied human rights? Or w/activists who risk their lives 4 others? Come find out! (1/2)
