Zora Howard performs " Walking"

[fallenknave]

my my, miss zora. un.be.lievable.

[mskool79]

I can never get enough of this performance. walk hard, little sister.

[the3mpress2impress]

I love her

[Valaneice]

Love it.

[soulreflect]

YES!...This young woman has me listening......passionate- powerful- beautiful poetry

[mskool79]

This is such an awesome spoken word performance. I've lost count how many times I viewed this.

[PurpDro]

but you only teachem how to be souljas, and not fathers... the realness in just 11 words.

[khalfani125]

Not only does she speak on the disrespect of men... she speaks on our willingness to accept it. She said in this poem, "with his eyes I LET HIM ..." and she said, "Daddy I'm afraid I've forgotten your lyrics". It's easy to say she's male bashing if you float on the surface but I believe she was really trying to resurrect her thought process... so that she would have the strength of character to never allow herself to be treated that way. Sis Zora... this is a favorite! #ClickLOVEIT

[AACareBear]

Luv her flow she speaks truth about ignorant dudes who speak disrespectful out the side of there mouth not stoping to think that another ignorant dude is yellin that same disrespect to there mother sister aunt or cousin

[LavenderScented]

Trying to break free from her chest

[oxXxAmbrosiaxXxo]

[NickolasK]

I love her writing. I feel like she might be drawing on the inflections of Sunni Patterson and Staceyann Chin that much. Or maybe she just has a really similar delivery. She spoke it wonderfully anyways.

[NickolasK]

@NickolasK that should have said too much, not that much.

[tradingwithdiligence]
