I've just finished reading All About Love and I've decided to start watching as many bell hooks videos as I can. What a woman, what a legacy she's left behind!
-
I threw away my kindness all for the gratification of being seen as a real man by my peers and it was foolish and idiotic. If I could take it back I would. But it's lovely to see that this revelation has already been known by people far smarter than me. I hope more people listen to Bell Hooks before they even consider listening to Andrew Tate.

Who’s listening in 2020

I just adore bell hooks. I’m sorry she’s no longer with us in body, but so very grateful for her work, thoughts, courage and teaching. Ever grateful.

“When you live in a country that makes truth something that is associated with the painful, that should not be spoken, it becomes hard to get people to value speaking freely because there are things that we have to say that will be wounding.” A whole word, yes.

“In our deeply anti-intellectual society...”😂😭😭

Sitting with the power and depth of her words always: "The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others." – Outlaw Culture: Resisting Representations, 1994
-
To truly choose to love is a heroic act!
-
Listening in 2021. This should get more views.
-
She speaks gentle but her words are powerful like a prophet.

Damn, my friend just sent this to me. Never heard of her before today. RIP Bell Hooks, today's youth needs to listen to this.
-
What a tragedy; the world is less without her. Rest in peace bell hooks.
-
May her voice be heard for many generations to come! Sad to see her go but happy that she came into this world! 🙏🏾 Rest beautiful soul

I don't believe that everyone will enjoy the teachings of Bell Hooks, but my hope is that her message touches as many people as possible. I believe that Bell Hooks is modest, but she is also confident, positive and hopeful for the future. There is nothing wrong with that. I have read quite a few of her books and they have a lot to teach us. Read on people, read on.
-
She is love, such an understanding human being. I'm completely inspired by bell hooks.

I will never forget a meeting in New York with a perfect stranger of another race discussing her books with me for hours in the mid early hours. He saw me with the book, Salvation and invited himself into my private world of solitude. It was a great conversation! He and I were great admirers of this great writer. Thank you bell hooks. The world will never forget you. You taught us so much about ourselves. For that, you are engraved in our hearts, soul and MIND!!!❤

Now I know why her name is Bell. She is the melodic alarm that sounds to all of us, that our right to free speech and dissent is being stripped silently, from all sides. Critical thought is becoming the scapegoat of political agenda. Silence is the death knell of democracy. Grateful to hear her thoughts.
-
Rest in Power, bell. Love and solidarity to all watching this at this sad time.
-
God, I wish modern radicals and the Left took after her philosophy more. Because there is censorship and close-mindedness and binary thinking galore on both sides of the political spectrum nowadays that I find very concerning.
-
It's the emergence of exposing the inner nature of people and revealing the layers of domination to keep people from being truly happy. Her description of Life is on point
