Two of my favorite writers, Pearl Cleage and Nikki Giovanni will be in Atlanta this week. The occaision? Pearl is interviewing Nikki for The HistoryMakers series on PBS. (The HistoryMakers is the largest African American video oral history archive, dedicated to recording and preserving the personal histories of well-known and unsung African Americans.)
I am tickled to pieces that Pearl and Nikki have invited me to tag along for all of the festivites.

The good news is that the taping is open to the public. Here's the neccesary info:

I'm jealous... Please write an entry that talks about the nuggets of wisdom both of these icons drop...
