Thumbs up if you think she is still Beautiful 👍

"The first person who reads you is you" ... FREAKING simple but FREAKING true. I should try to impress me more. Her energy is awesome. I wish I could take one of her classes.

“I’m so hip even my errors are correct” 🔥 Beyond Bars

For those commenting on her appearance in the now, compared to the days of 50-60 years ago... It's called life! Get busy living yours or get you one! Shallow minds create chatter that truly is nothing but; noise without logic. 💯

I had the pleasure of meeting her at a talk in my late 20s . She motivated me to go back and finish my degree. She hugged my tears away..and then said...WHAT YOU DOING IN THE MEANTIME....???

‘Ego Tripping’ is such a great poem - Nikki Giovanni seems amazing - I would sign up for college again to be in her class.

To be in the presence of a living legend. I got to meet Maya Angelou in 2005. I would LOVE to meet Nikki while she still dwells with us on this planet. She is a world treasure.

This week will be all about her for me. I found her by studying James Baldwin. And now I want to know all about her. Thanks for posting this.

how sweet is that poem...chocolate.

My aunt is named after Nikki Giovanni. Such a remarkable woman.

She is just deliciously WONDERFIFFICALLLL!!

Her mind, her heart, her smile. Icon

"all he CAN say is No"... I love that. That's the worst that it could be, so why not take the leap of faith as it could also be yes... Love you Nikki

Words could give mrs. Giovanni the respect she deserves. " I'm so hip, even my errors are correct"

Love her sense of humor.

I saw her interview Mohammed Ali, her words then were equally delicious

How did I miss this? Her? I hate I missed this.

Wasn't the last poem used in a song? My ears pricked up when she started it and I was like "Hmmm, I heard this in a song that played on SOMAFM's "Lush" radio station or was it "Groove Salad" ?

I definitely have to meet her before she join the ancestors.

Wow

Still relevant 2022

My son noah built newark and we stood soft... Shes omnicient

“I’m sure they had another word for that” 😂😂

Those things in which you so laughingly call hands are in fact two brown butterflies flucting across the pleasure they give my body. Nikki Giovanni

*Somebody gotta know ‘em* 🤣

She is me.. wow....

Poet Loretta

If you haven't seen any images of her youth look it up. She was quite stunning in her day.

Is the title one of her quotes?

I would like to meet her, one very interesting lady.

Check out, I think.

We met her in rl about 10yrs ago it was pretty sad. my mom wanted to cry because she was a pale shadow of her former self (70s)

💜☄️🌌☮️

VLV YOU LKE COTTON CANDY ON A RAINY DAY...PHENOMENAL YOU ARE...NIKKI...PEACE BE WITH YOU...ALL OU DAYS...

Now I want me some chocolate.

Can anybody give me there take on mama Giovanni's piece on fear. My take is instead of being afraid of fear find a healthy way to use fear for your advantage.

Over 60 years visiting mostly Acapulco. Earthquakes were the deal breakers. I have lived in safe Queretaro, since Nov. 2021 at 79.. With the cool weather I love. I cannot pay rent or buy groceries with gold. I have 6 months food, water, and money preps. I did move to Mexico at 79,where I am safer and it is less expensive. Please research where you move outside the USA, and use a bank,that refunds ATM fees RIP everyone everywhere. Excellente I just left the USA at 79 in 2021 and all is well with me I have 6 months preps for food and rent. This is God's world. Life means nothing to demons. Move to another country. Karma ever loses an address. I just left the USA at 79 in 2021 and all is well with me I have 6 months preps for food and rent. This is God's world. Life means nothing to demons.

I wonder if she's half Italian 🤔

Americans say we want to be safe! Nikki: safe from what we are the ones that are crazy Me: Sandra bland, Trayvon Martin, Cops, Trump, Insurrection, Police, America !!!!

Nikki Giovanni please adopt me. Please.

Have a little fear’ atleast once a week, and you can build up a resistance’ like a vaccination ~ sheesh….

Is she white

Giovanni has always been openly anti-white and said repeatedly she disliked and distrusted all whites, but has been celebrated since the 1970s.
