Audre Lorde

Audre Lorde was an important writer and activist from the 1960s to the 1990s. She wrote poems and books about a wide range of topics, from being a woman of color to relationships, from politics to sexuality. She spoke out against racism, sexism, and homophobia, and was an important voice for minority and LGBTQ+ people. She also spoke about how important it is for people to accept and love all parts of themselves, and to be mindful of how systems of power like racism or sexism can hurt people. Audre Lorde was a powerful voice for many who felt they didn't have one, and she is remembered today as an inspiration and a leader who made other people feel powerful and confident.
