Hello, my name is Lynelle. I have another publication for poetry as well. I like what you have written about love and incorporating The Color Purple. Me? I love Zora the best! Her & Toni are who inspired me to write. You know, the color purple is traumatizing for me, I think I watched it to early as a kid. I am now going to revisit it. It’s been on my mind since the new version was released last year. I look forward to reading more writings from you!! Thank you for this piece!

Hi Lynelle! Thank you so much for reading this piece! I also love Zora and Toni! I can definitely see myself writing about them in the future

And I'm not even gonna front, The Color Purple film was traumatizing for me in some ways too (like I said, was intro'd to it wayyy too young!) But as an adult, I'm able to take in the messages little me wasn't meant to understand. And I'm able to see more clearly things that grown me still isn't down with. I'm still learning!

Yesss!! I love us for real too! This was such a sweet read, Jolie! I tell everyone when it comes to my writing I want everyone who needs my words to read them. But I write them especially for Black women.
