“Drenched In Light” by Zora Neale Hurston
My English teacher gifted me a hardcover of Zora Neale Hurston’s anthology in 2000. This book has since been a trusted travel companion. I explore Zora’s words often, but it is her short story Drenched In Light that has most impacted my life. The young and brilliant Isis Watts has blessed my world and served as inspiration for the brilliant reimagining of our power, Power’s Big Dance.
In Drenched In Light, Zora shows you the beauty of your light. She guides you out of a scene of fear and insecurity, into one of freedom and bold expression. As a reader, you get to witness this brilliance and heed the message to know and own your Power.
That being said…ZORA! Thank You! Thank You! THANK YOU!
Gratitude.
