Description: At the college I attend many people come and speak. One day Nikki Giovanni came. I've always wanted to do something with this article and it's manifested into this. The candy is still in this package. I really wanted to eat my candy but, I felt that I didn't want to chance tearing up her signature. HAHAHA
Yolande Cornelia (Nikki) Giovanni, Jr.
(These are her quotes and poems)
Art is not for the Cultivated taste. It is to Cultivate taste.
Show me someone not full of herself and I’ll show you a hungry person.
We love because it’s the only true Adventure
Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to errors that counts
There is always something to do.
There are hungry people to feed,
Naked people to clothe,
Sick people to comfort and make well.
And while I don’t expect you to save the world,
I do think it’s not asking too much
For you to love those with whom you sleep,
Share the happiness of those whom you call friend,
Engage those among you who are visionary,
And remove from your life
Those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.
