Nikki Giovanni.....internationally heralded poet.

Known throughout the world for her motivating and inspiring poems...Nikki Giovanni puts a smile on my face as I remember her from her days that she attended St. Simons Episcopal Church School in Lincoln Heights. I remember her strong, no nonsense presence that has propelled her to national and international prominence. What really makes me feel good is whenever I see her, see remembers me and acknowledges me.  My mind says.."Wow, a superstar knows you!!" I'm sure she brings a feeling of pride to all those who "knew her when". I'd like to recognize her, especially during Black History Month and beyond.
