Alice Walker | People Give Up Their Power | teal on black | Basic T-Shirt

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.” —Alice Walker

Poet, novelist, and activist Alice Walker (b. 1944) distills the essence of empowerment in this call to awareness. A leading voice of Black feminism and author of The Color Purple, Walker reminds us that oppression begins in the mind—and so does liberation. Her words are both warning and invitation: to recognize our own agency, and to wield it with courage and purpose.
