Some people move you. bell hooks shaped how I think and how I view reality.

I feel this loss so deeply. I will always be grateful she existed. Rest in peace.

All About Love is one of the most read books in my collection. It changed my life. I'm so grateful for her existence and work.

I remember seeing quotes from bell hooks when I first started learning about feminist theory. She was truly inspiring.

May her memory be a blessing.

I admit I have not read much if any feminist theory! Which of her books would you all recommend to start with?

“It still took years for me to let go of learned pattern's of behavior that negated my capacity to give and receive love. One pattern that made the practice of love especially difficult was my constantly choosing to be with men who were emotionally wounded, who were not that interested in loving, even though they desired to be loved. I wanted to know love but was afraid to be intimate. By choosing men who were not interested in being loving, I was able to practice giving love but always within an unfufilling context. Naturally, my need to receive love was not met. I got what I was accustomed to getting. Care and affection, usually mingled with a degree of unkindness, neglect, and on some occasions, out right cruelty.” • Bell Hooks 🥺♥️
