Wow! Everyone is here from the Baldwin interview.
Yes sir!!
I really miss the beautiful minds of the 60's and 70's, like the great Nikki Giovanni.
Douglas Garner, so true. This is why interviews and dialogue with our elders is so important. Many are suffering with dementia etc. Time is running out. This was everything.
The most beautiful mind is the mind that has the commandments of God and shares them with his brother that he may live and not die. The so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Indians are the people the bible speaks of; Deuteronomy 28:15 - 68.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Join the online classes every day, three times per day, for free! israelunite.org Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
I wish as a society we valued our elders more. I was the "weird" child... Although none of the elders in my family were this involved in the world... I loved sittin and listening to the "back in the day" stories... I'm loving this! 💗💗💚💚👏👏👑👑💎 such a treasure!
Very beautiful minds my friend
You are not alone
I just watched a an interview with her from the 70s yesterday. Crazy seeing her again in the present area. So happy she's still around.
It's quite prophetic what she said about viruses, especially with what we are going through right now with this coronavirus in 2020.
She was brilliant at 28! We're very lucky to have her here in this country!
yes we were
so weird watching this after the Baldwin video... wow wow time changes people lol
John J. Burns I did the Same exact thing.!!! She is amazing.!!!
Indeed....Indeed...We grow or become stagnant
I am focused on the fact that the beauty of her mind increased!
She's still the grooviest chick ever!👑👑👑
Just watched Baldwin vid too lol
"There would be no America without black people. They knew that they needed black people in order to make a continent. " Nikki Giovanni
michael seth true
Thats very insulting. America was already a continent and pretty thriving place. My history doesn’t start with slavery, we were already here.
@@buddah389 sounds like you need to hear an apology from West Africa.
@@buddah389 No one said your continent wasn't. No need to insult African Americans by saying we have no history before slavery. You're punching down at a demographic that was also subjugated by your oppressor. What she is saying is that the founders needed the strength of other races to build their own wealth.
@@jalan67 I've heard about what you are saying and I will look into it but the Atlantic slave trade definitely occured. Idk if some black people were already here or if the natives were just naturally dark, but millions of enslaved africans did die on the trip across the boat
It gave my heart such a good soulful feeling to watch the convo with James Baldwin then to watch this. It was like seeing your grandmother as a young social militant woman, then seeing her again as this wise intelligent remarkable black American... And what really got me is when she spoke about 2Pac. I am 35 years old and even to this very minute there is no single celebrity figure that outweighs Tupac....”TO ME”
What really got me is that she has a 2pac tattoo!!! 🙆🏾♀️🤭🤭 I'm thinking about getting one on his birthday this month 🤔😁
Jackie Hughes TRIIIIIIIL. IM WAITIN ON HIS BORN DAY LIKE ITS MINE LOL.
Omg, I love this gal. Smart, quirky, funny and insightful.
Facts I did the same lol , Love these conversations. Beautiful Soul
I remember when I saw a picture of my grandmother in the 70s: straight out of the Black Panther movement, up until then she was just 'good ol' grandma'! Crazy: I should have called here H-Rap Granma! lol
my goodness she's younger than most of us. She regularly goes to Antartica and wants to go to space. That is a person who loves life
She's still such a beautiful woman
Yesssssss!!! I'm 67 years young women (seasoned), gifted, and Black. Thank you Maupintown Media Such a blessing watching Reverend Dr. Nikki Giovanni. this put me into the channel of Love for my Black American Ancestors in a proud, wonderful, healthy, and sweet spiritual lively way. To God Be the Glory!
We need More, More, More of "Our "Story."
Blessings of Love,
Nikki The Grandchildren need your voice out there in the world. We need you !!!!
WE NEED YOU NOW !!!!!!
YES!!!!!!-!
One amazing woman. She gave a talk at Columbia College in Chicago, when I was a student there, and I had the opportunity to be present, and talk (briefly) with her after the main talk. Brilliant.
man, I remember meeting dr giovanni in undergrad and still I am in awe of her. Amazing
I wanna thank the creator for a mind like this & platforms to receive such.
Harmony 737 wow, that’s beautiful!
Phenomenal woman. Thanks for sharing your gift with the world.
Wow. Straight from the soul conversation with James Baldwin to this right here and i think i have to go back to being a creator. I can't explain.
I can watch that conversation between them over and over and learn something new each time I watch it. Never get tired of watching it.
I am a NYC school teacher and I've always loved Ms. Giovanni. I especially appreciate her making a connection between no church foundation (not religion) and our kids today.
Thank you Queen Mother - still speaking truth!
I agree completely. There is a noticeable difference.
Wow, this was 2 years ago, almost like a prophecy when she talked about the good organising of this generation ....
and virus
James Baldwin predicted the black revolution in the 70’s too
Amazing...Amazing Woman. Just listening to her takes me all the way back...love.
She’s simply amazing!!!
OUR History is so Rich!!!!!!!
Island Girl be very careful what you claim.
Debbie Downer "glass 1/2 empty" @@SaraFJones
I absolutely adore this beautiful sweet woman.
Thank you Nikki for paving the way for me and others who walk in your footsteps!
I LOVE YOU NIKKI GIOVANNI...!!!!!!!!!!!QUEEN!!!!!!!! "WE CAN FLY LIKE A BIRD IN THE SKY"...!!!!!!!!
The beauty of this woman I stan!!
I have slept too long on this awesome woman!
What a wonderful interview! A true American treasure.
Great interview! She has a beautiful soul. It's so nice to hear memories from a time when the world was so much better. Glad I was born and grew up in the movement era.
Nikki Giovanni is a national treasure. It's nice to see how people evolve over time. She remains courageous and free. Most importantly, it is good to see that she is happy. She smiles and laughs more now than her earlier videos.
It's so healthy to show up and stay in dialogue. For this reason, I love her thoughts and inflections. She's provocative, makes me reflect and want to speak up. For eg, 'learn how to live instead of fight with cancer' made me think that fighting in any situation is a recipe for losing. Fighting sucks life energy where intelligent dialogue is efficient. And, yes, I can imagine the great interactions she had. Humble, yet a magnet for intelligent thought and vibrant interactions. Even if I don't agree with everything, I LOVE listening to her.
You will have to create what you are looking for.
LOVE THIS WOMAN!
I like Shakespeare, Maya-Angelou and NIKKI GIOVANNI just to name a few!!!
You’re talking square biz, baby. They ain’t ready.
@@AJ-jo3ns RIGHT!!!!
Teena Marie rip
Thank you Mr. Lorenzo Dickerson your a great interviewer. 💎
"If you are a writer, you have to make a mistake?!" I love that. I just started a career as a writer.
This was like sitting down with my grandmother I love this lady I remember hearing Tina Marie mention her name in her song it must be magic .
Greetings My Beautiful Sista, your Mission is Complete, thanks for the Healing Words you shared 🙏💯🏆👑
Unfortunately Churches are not the Same.
What I love about this video is that despite all that Nikki Giovanni has accomplished, and all of the incredible people that she’s known, that she has remained humble.
Also interesting to recognize how strong her faith is and how that may relate to the strong faith of both her mother and grandmother.
A good interview!
Queen!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Giovanni, May God continue to bless you and watch over you. You have been a gift to this world.
Blessing. I still have my autographed book and photo.
Who stars in the Nikki G. movie. a young Nikki, Jurnee Smollett, the young lady that played in dear white people, older Nikki. Jada P. I'd love to see early beginnings, fast forward to fisk and Nina, Baldwin. such a fascinating woman. Maupintown Media, thanks so much for sharing, this was great.
"I think that talent brings you a certain loneliness, and I think you have to learn to accept that." I felt that.
Artistry is free thought and the group is beliefs and conditions.

Happy belated birthday Nikki Giovanni 😍😍🎈🌹🎈🌹🎈🌹!!! Your poems have set my soul on fire many of days, thank you. I ❤❤❤you🌹🌹🌹
Here from her amazing interview with Jimmy Baldwin! Love to all!
Good bless you for this interview!
Nikki Giovanni and Tupac...THAT would’ve been an EPIC conversation. Look forward to her book💕
Beautiful Interview!!!
I love how she refers to Trump as "That Fool" and "Fool". LOL!
Then says he slept with a black man . Facts and evidence pls it shows desperation .
@@crossman3940 i was like whaaat! Gonna have to do some research on this juice!
I love the interview you and James Baldwin did. Awesome
I really like/love her. She has a sense of humour lots of wisdom and so much more.
I love everything about this interview. Thank you Nikki G. For sharing your beautiful mind with us. 🙏🏾❤️🔐💡
Their vision to live out, honor the land, and live simply matches my vision for my posterity!
Nikki Giovanni this is from the pie lady from Beverly Hills I know you remember me if you think that I also remember when you were teaching and you acquired the your health scare with cancer also when you wrote the book on Tupac I don't I have a memory like an elephant you're wonderful and keep on going sister from OG Queen to another
What a wonderful follow up to the first interview with James Baldwin. The joyous spirit of Ma Nikki is a blessing.
Amazing!!❤
I loved the interview. I agree with “most” of her statements. However, reading some of the comments...are heartbreaking!! The comments really speak to the mentality and level of ignorance of some people. They are so concerned with how she looks then/now...why look at the interview and not really “hear” the interview. Go to a porn site if you want to look at women and idolize their looks. 🤦🏽♀️. History, wisdom, and class is not possessed by everyone.
WELL SAID YES OR TAKE A GOOD LOOK IN MIROR AND FINE ALL YOUR IMPERFECTIONS START WITH YOU FIRST.😊
Cee Pac she's a much older lady now so what do they expect. All those focussing on her looks just might get to her age one day ....or die younger. I think she's wonderful.
Beautifully said💯
I'm confused as to how she's sposed to look after 50 years has gone by?
Now that I have time to think about it? Do you think it's more because, at age 28, she was a hardcore militant, saying that religion was a disease and a device for oppression? And now, 50 years later, she's saying that church is good? That's a huge tonal shift, but time mellows everyone.
Such a GREAT LADY!!
Awesome to hear
I love this woman!!!
We still here from Baldwin interview 👍🏽
She is truly amazing ! She drops some knowledge 🙏🏾❤️✨
You are truly a legend! My husband is Musician of 30 years from gogo, jazz, instrumental, and gospel. He is a trumpet player.
Brilliant, precious being.
a wise lady; ... a smart human being ... great thought regarding MJ ...
One of my favorite people to ever walk the planet. #NikkiGiovanni
I think that changes in our lives and the world will impact our worldview and how we feel about many things, we evolve in many different directions.
Love how you ask Nikki a simple question, and she just gives you a 2-3 minutes long answer ❤️
An amazing mind... beautiful poetry.
This is amazing. What a genius! Her mind definitely goes "click click click."
Interesting principles and perspectives.
It's June 7,2020.Happy birthday queen
My favorite author poet and activist. My dad loved 🥰 her too (rip dad). He named me after her. Nikki!!!
Thank you Nikkie..😘
WOW... This message is so prolific and prophetic😳
I Am A Gemini! I won a poetry contest in 7th grade, at Browne Jr. High in Washington, DC. My teacher as Ms. Boykins, representing Nicki Giovanni. I won $75, and a Nicki Giovanni poetry book based on our black culture around 1978-79. I don’t have the book now, I lost to storage after moving so much. She inspired me, and spoke truth on what we as blacks through, and what we see at home in our families, and our race in what we go through.
Same here, found this after the Baldwin interview. What a lovely lady. She'd be the greatest grandmother.
People, you, she, me can be a fan of Jesus but be not a fan of the westernized, European version of Jesus.
Thats good word my sister
Indeed!
Europeans created Christians aka follower of "Serapis the Savior", later known as Jesus in the Bible. Real history reveals religion was forced on the enslaved Africans of Eygpt by the Greeks invaders and called Christians.
@@teresavicente5161 Truth!
Teresa Vicente thank you sister!
An Amazing woman!!! As a child I loved to read. I read many of her books and poems. She is an inspiration!!!
Beautiful...
Where are people like this now!! True queen!
What a pleasure to her your poetry done by you at NSU. A Virginian worth acknowledgement
Thank you for the truth.
Amazing
Great interview 💎💎💎❤️❤️
Hello Nikki, I've been listening to you for some years, I'm so happy that you are doing well, love you. Absolutely beautiful.
excellent excellent video. thank you for making it
Oh wow, I love you. What a beautiful mind, you are🌹
Power of imagination
You have really inspired me today sharing some history, and about your life.
i wanted to see how life sailed you after the Baldwin interview and i love what i see. time changes some things. the principle remains. and i like that your principle remained. And i understand you in the Baldwin interview. you were raw and real which most interviews today . i learned a lot from both interviews. thank you.
The Adults of the 70s have some of the best perspective in history they had their faults but it seems a lot of people from that decade had abstract way of thinking
They had abstract politics
I was a young girl when I first learned about James Balwin. When I first heard his words and felt his passion I was hooked. I was never the same after that.
Happy Birthday Nikki Giovanni
I love her and her work.... And my last name is Atkinson too lol!!!
Perfectlace
Everything must change, nothing stays the same. She seems much different today ....and that’s not a bad thing... not sure if age makes one appear more vulnerable/fragile ... I think everything we fight for when we are younger seems unwavering but as we age we see that change will come within.... I close my eyes to envision the youthful unyielding Nikki , she is not there...and should she be? She served her time and she made an impact when we needed it the most . Now it is time for others to carry her torch with the unwavering convictions she had as young woman but with a new baseline to fit a new generation . Nothing stays the same... hmmmm much love to you Nikki and thank you for giving us the best of you over the years.
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And music
And music
Makes me cry
Hey Happy Birthday Nikki !
People evolve. What a fascinating woman!
My favorite poet
During the video, Ms. Giovanni indicated that James Brown and Jesse Norman were from Albany, GA: however, as a native of Augusta, GA., I knew both Ms. Jesse Norman and her brother Silas Norman I attended elementary school, Steed Street and Ursula Collins Schools with both of them. (They are from Augusta). However, believe Ms. Norman may have transferred to another school before she went on to college and later became one of our famous, beloved opera singers. And I managed three of the rhythm section members to Mr. James Brown's band during the seventies.
I never met Ms. Giovanni personally, but enjoyed her in this presentation.
