Today marks one year since we lost the literary legend, Toni Morrison. There are not enough words to describe her impact.

Though she has passed on to the spiritual realm her words are still here on Earth.

We celebrate her life and the gifts she left us.

Toni Morrison’s belief in the limitlessness of Black life is why she is our greatest American author.

This is not up for debate. @MorganJerkins writes. https://zora.medium.com/toni-morrison-is-the-greatest-living-author-238e5618e012

Toni Morrison centered our narratives. It was both radical and unapologetic.

Her work taught "Black women in particular that we do not need to answer to White people or anyone else for validation and recognition," writes @critical_auntie. https://zora.medium.com/toni-morrison-taught-black-women-you-are-your-best-thing-66c8caa6c264

Toni Morrison has taught author @TinaMcElroyAnsa just how complex and multifaceted an African American artist could be.

"Morrison showed me that a great writer not only writes about life. She lives it, bringing all the facets of herself to the work." https://zora.medium.com/she-taught-me-the-value-and-intelligence-of-nature-in-writing-200b0743ec0c

Toni Morrison taught us so much about the fullness of our lives here on this earth in spite of racism, xenophobia, and pure hatred.

She has written forever and her spirit will exist in life and letters for time immemorial.
