💔 Remembering the great poet, activist, & educator Nikki Giovanni (1943-2024). We were honored to welcome the legendary figure to @filmlinc last year for the #NYFF61 Spotlight selection GOING TO MARS: THE NIKKI GIOVANNI STORY and for an accompanying career-spanning Free Talk.

Nikki Giovanni, revolutionary poet and voice of Black resilience, has died at 81. Her words inspired generations and will continue to echo through time.
