It'll be some time before I have the words,space&time to articulate just how transformative bell hooks has been for my (Black) sense of self, my own scholarship & how I approach all of my relationships. The 🔑 was to try to find ways to love even in an abundance of lovelessness
Literally one week ago today I was teaching bell hooks x Stuart Hall to sixth formers and any one who has used her work knows the magic it creates amongst students. What's love got to do with it? literally, everything. RIP to the greatest x
