Playwright, spoken-word artist, and novelist Ntozake Shange contributed to a chorus of feminist voices in the 1970s. Born Paulette Williams, she took the name “Ntozake” (“she who comes into her own things”) “Shange” (“she who walks like a lion”) during college. #NMAAHCPoetrySlam

Happy Birthday to the one and only Toni Morrison. She has been so instrumental in shaping who I have become as a writer. I return to her work again and again. #legend #greatness #celebrate #CiteBlackWomen #blackgirlmagic #ToniMorrison

Yes to this! Happy birthday to the incomparable Audrey Lorde. #blackwriters #blackgirlmagic #BlackGirlsRock #stillirise
Happy birthday to writer and activist Audre Lorde, who inspires and reminds us that our work does not exist in a vacuum. Our identities are vast — they overlap and intersect. And issues like racism, misogyny, and homophobia are connected. #AudreLorde
This is so true and so well said. The critics are real, both within and without. Nurture you and what comes from you. #keepwriting #writerslife #NationalScreenwritersDay Thank you @ava You are such an inspiration.

The brilliant @MichelleObama has written masterfully about the power that comes from embracing one’s authentic self. You can accomplish anything when you’re living your truth. #IAmBecoming #weekendread

Before we decide if we’re going to engage in a fight on an issue, some might say, ‘Well, let’s sit back and consider the odds of winning.’ No — if it’s worth fighting for, it’s a fight worth having.

This tweet is for Dr. Ford. You put yourself through so much and I want you to know it wasn’t in vain. You started a movement and we’ll see it through. If they won’t listen to our voices, then they’ll listen to our vote.
Shows like The Wolf make me proud to be an artist and an activist, fighting back in a time when our country silences women and prioritizes power. The Wolf explores desire, longing, and miscommunication of the sexes through a fairytale lens. @Shakinthetree shaking-the-tree.com/_____-t…

Dr. Ford is not on trial. She is sitting here because she has the courage to come forward and because it was her “civic duty.” I believe her.
First draft complete! I‘m really proud of this script. I love the story of #Agamemnon, it meant a lot to me to write this adaptation through the lens that affects me most, black life. I’ve had a blast working w the talented #Orphic interns #portlandwriter #blackwriter

With the amount of sexism and racism @serenawilliams has faced in her sport & life I’m in awe of the level of poise she has to keep just to not get a violation for existing. All athletes express anger, what’s disrespectful to the game is enforcing different rules for dif athletes
Here’s something I wrote for @washingtonpost. I hope you’ll take a read. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

Depending on the outcome of the November elections, more than 100 women could be elected to the House for the first time in our nation’s history. Let’s make it happen.
