What a refreshing inspiration! One of my biggest fans, she encouraged me to sing more; and often attended my poetry events at Hammonds House Museum and in Atlanta parks. I loved her singing and cool style. No subject was off limits for us from culture to romance to writing. She wrote fiction, too. In our last conversation, she suggested that I learn "Don't Shove" and I'm gonna do it, too, one day. She laughed a soft and natural melody and it will forever ring in my heart. May the ancestors welcome you!
