This is Ruby Dee (pictured with husband Ossie). Civil rights activist. Actress. And a woman with poetry in her soul. SWIPE RIGHT for one of my favourite videos on the internet... a moment during an episode of Iconoclasts with my inspiration @aliciakeys ... where Ruby spontaneously recites the poem the “Somebodiness of Me” mid conversation and shows us all the true heart and power of an artist. . . This is what humanity is. These words are what we all need to hear... in these times yes, but in past times, and always. You are me. I am you. ❤️ . . . .#rubydee #somebodiness #poetry #spokenword #spokenwordpoetry #aliciakeys #iconoclast #sundance (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B95C6GAHdWf/?igshid=1cb87ibpkcguq
