more more more feminism.

this woman. influences. wonder. bell hooks is such a wonderful woman. she has influenced my life greatly since i was first introduced to her writings in the 9th grade. a marxist feminist. she believes that everyone deserves mutual respect and understanding. she makes people understand that feminism is not a movement of women, but of people, working to diminish stereotypes and exploitation. that people of all classes and races should not be discriminated against. and that without love, there can be no justice. a writer of over twenty books, including childrens books, and making politics and feminism so incredibly easy to understand and relate to, bell hooks is easily one of the most progressive thinkers of yesterday and today. i got the opportunity to meet this lovely lady today and she was everything i hoped for and more. such a caring and genuinely sweet character who was so eager to meet everyone around her. i was so incredibly nervous when i finally shook hands with her, i introduced myself twice. face red, and camera ready, i snapped a few portraits of her on HP5 plus black and white film and bid her adiou only to reunite with her after her lecture to her saying "hello jordan!" and me getting giddy and wonderfully happy again. there is nothing about the spirit of this woman that people shouldn't learn from. she's so incredible and i'd urge anyone to read her books.





mmmmmm lovely <3
