Sometimes, You Just Need to Hear It from Toni Morrison

By: Ebonye Gussine Wilkins

I feel the need to get inspired. I have a lot of things whirling in my head since last night, and I decided that I needed to hear words from someone grounded in reality. Then I accidentally stumbled upon this video of Toni Morrison speaking with Stephen Colbert, and it did the trick.

In the face of adversity, it is imperative for me to move forward, even if I’m not sure of what the next steps are. The video gave me just enough juice to think of something to write about.

Do you agree with what Toni Morrison said? How do you feel about Stephen Colbert’s questions? If you could ask Toni Morrison anything, what would it be?
