Shocked and saddened to hear about the death of my friend bell hooks. A rare combination of high searing intellect and pure sweet spiritual nature. She will remain a light on my path and the path of so many. Rest In Peace, dear sister.

She didn't even know you.

I got introduced to bell hooks at a women’s conference you organized at the Fox Theater in Detroit many, many years ago. It was the best conference of my life. (Thank you for that and the many other ways you’ve inspired me).So sorry to hear of her death. #Stillhavetheteeshirt

I've never loved and appreciated someone so much that I never knew. She was a singular force and I will be grieving the loss of her light in this world for a long time.

bell hooks, whose incisive, wide-ranging writing on gender and race helped push feminism beyond its white, middle-class worldview to include the voices of Black and working-class women, died on Wednesday at her home in Berea, Ky. She was 69. nytimes.com/2021/12/15/books… #RIPbellhooks
