"'If you can be free, be a mystery'-- This wonderful phrase is very Hurston; she made herself a mystery. She didn't want to be typecast in anyway. The inspiration was to be a mystery" - Glenda Carpio #HurstonsHorizon #Hurston2021 #academictwitter

"The constellation of ideology inspired by Hurston and by extension the Black speculative epistimology represented by Eatonville is crucial to understanding Hurston's importance to our current moment." - Dr. Julian Chambliss #Zora #afrofuturism #blackness #blackDH #BlackWomen

"Hurston's work to produce knowledge allowed that kind of mobility to move outside of spaces that other women of her time period weren't able to do" - LaMonda Horton-Stallings #HotH #HurstonontheHorizon #ZoraNealeHurston

"What we have in Hurston’s dossier is an ambivalent theory of Black critique, one that resists, or refuses, the need for Black culture to be made more static than it is."- Dr. Kevin Quashie on "Hurston as Literary Theorist" #Zora #BlackWomen #Hurston2021 #AcademicTwitter
