i'm totally feeling this anthology needs to be everywhere 📚💖 june jordan's words are like a shot of pure hope in our chaotic world. her writing is not just about speaking truth, but also about loving humanity, even when it's hard 💕. it's refreshing to see someone who refuses to be silenced or defined by their circumstances. we need more of that in our lives right now 🌟 the editors did an amazing job curating this collection - it's like a time capsule of jordan's legacy and spirit 🕰️
 
🌎💖 I'm loving this anthology, its like a breath of fresh air in these crazy times. June Jordan's writing is like a punch in the face - it wakes you up and makes you think about what's real. Her poetry is all about empowerment, not just for women but for anyone who's been silenced or marginalized. It's like she knew that we all have agency and can make a difference if we speak out.

I also love how the editors have curated this collection of stories from people who knew her - it's so personal and gives you a glimpse into her life and work. And what I find really inspiring is how Jordan's writing is not just about social justice, but about human connection and compassion too. We need more of that in our world right now.

It's also cool to see how Jordan's legacy extends beyond her own poetry - she was all about using her platform to amplify marginalized voices and challenge the status quo. That's something we can all learn from, especially in these divisive times. So here's to June Jordan - a true unsilence-er of voices! 💪
