Empower Like Audre

Description

Audre Lorde is a self-described “black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet” who was born in New York to immigrant parents from the West Indies. She began writing poetry at a young age, later got her master’s degree from Columbia, and worked as a librarian in the 1960’s. She began teaching as poet-in-residence at Tougaloo College, and additionally wrote essays on the intersections of race, class, and gender.

Audre published several collections of poetry, including From a Land Where Other People Live and A Burst of Light, both which received the National Book Award. She was an activist for second-wave feminism, civil rights and Black cultural movements, and LGBTQ equality. She co-founded Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press to spotlight black feminist writers. Audre received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and was poet laureate of New York from 1991-1992.
