“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” — Alice Walker

Happy birthday to author and activist Alice Walker! In 1982, she became the first Black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her iconic novel ‘The Color Purple.’ 💜

Walker is also a proud activist, best known for her commitment to women’s and civil rights. Today, we honor her for using her voice to remind us of the power we all hold.

After the release of the film the color purple won’t just be a color for us but a sign of excellence, hard work and growth. 📷: Nana Osei - 2020 #la #labadi #accra #ghana #africa #thecolorpurple #blitzambassador #film #alicewalker #oprahwinfrey #stevenspielberg #quincyjones #scottsanders #novel #dynamicafrica #everydayafrica #visiterlafrique #ashantiimmigrant #accrawedey (at Labadi Olympia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE11eJXDB7L/?igshid=jcwuc6bm6diy

Last night I found a journal I filled with quotes and came across an old favorite .. “Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.” 🤎 #alicewalker https://www.instagram.com/p/B_z6-brAoRg/?igshid=15geihzgrq4gc

#TBT to our second time at the @weeksvilleheritagecenter celebrating Women’s History Month in March of 2018. We swapped over a hundred books by Black women. We also had an amazing 3 hour conversation on the concept of Womanism, Alice Walker and her incredible book TEMPLE OF MY FAMILIAR, (a personal favorite). It was inter generational, vulnerable, honest, funny, powerful and deep. We are grateful to Weeksville for welcoming us, these Black Woman collaborations are always a joy.

We look forward to gathering in this space again one day soon, until then we are wishing every one safety and good health. ❤️
