Alice Walker
The Author of The Color Purple
Come sit with me and watch the world bloom.
I grew up barefoot in the dirt, learning from my mother how to make beauty from struggle. My stories are born from the soil and the women who farmed it — strong, unyielding, full of song. I write so that you may see yourself in the bloom of a flower, in the hush of dusk, in the cry of a woman who refuses to be silent.
What I'm Into: the color purple, my mother's garden, the sound of rustling leaves, womanist wisdom, watching the sky change
