Daughters of Zora: Affirmations for Black Women Writers

“The greatest act of revolution for any black woman is to put pen to paper with purpose.“- Stalina Goodwin

The books of Zora Neale Hurston are more than books. They are pathways to worlds that provoke thought and create lasting change. Zora’s writings are the vessels by which so many have discovered their love for expression and thought. This is how powerful it can be when a black woman decides to write. Her thoughts inspire generations. The great Zora Neale Hurston is the evidence of this, but she is not alone.  Octavia Butler, Nikki Giovanni, Toni Morrison, we are all walking in the echo that is the influence and blueprint of these powerful black women writers. In Daughters of Zora: Affirmations for Black Women Writers, the thoughts and words of some of the most prolific black women literary figures are presented as a compass of encouragement and empowerment to be lived by daily. Curated by author Stalina Goodwin, this 100-day journey of self-reflection and affirmation will provide any black woman who picks up a pen, beginners and experts, with an opportunity to discover and be inspired by the black women writers who boldly came before them.
