Zelda Lockhart

I'll admit before my involvement with the NC Literary Map, I had not heard of author, Zelda Lockhart.  I found a lot of information about her while researching for my post on July 6th.  Ms. Lockhart's website describes her as an "author, speaker, facilitator, and scholar" and so she is, evidenced by her many acomplishments and extracurricular events.  Zelda Lockhart is also an advocate for black women, using the hashtag: "blackwomenwrite" on most of her social media posts.  Additionally, her website features YouTube videos she has done entitled, "Black Creative Healing".  I am currently reading Diamond Doris: The True Story of the World's Most Notorious Jewel Thief but I can't wait to read her other award-nominated and award-winning books!  Diamond Doris is also advertised as soon to be a movie.  Unpopular opinion: I also love movies based on books.  It's not often that I prefer the movie but I will gladly commit to a film version as well!
