Zora Neale Hurston has been called “The Queen of the Harlem Renaissance,“ and her masterwork novel “Their Eyes Were Watching God” enjoys a prominent place in the American canon of literature.

Hurston’s writing career spanned the late 1920s and well into the 1930s. The stories she told were distinctly black, and distinctly female, resonating among the generations of writers in her footsteps witnessing how powerful the voice of the voiceless can be. Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison have cited her as a major influence.

It is often speculated that Zora Neale Hurston was gay, though it is not definitively known. Regardless, her insistence on fearlessly writing with a loud voice despite requests for silence is a powerful motivator for the LGBTQ community today accessing her writing so many decades later.

A VERY HAPPY International Non-Binary People’s Day!

Just a lil reminder:

💛 You can present any way you want (masculine, feminine, androgynous, or anywhere in between) and still be non-binary.

🤍 You can use any pronouns you want (they, she, he, etc) and still be non-binary.

💜Your gender is real and valid.

🖤It’s okay to be unsure of your labels or pronouns - there’s no pressure to figure it out right now.

💛No matter where you are on that journey, you deserve respect!
