The choice to love is the choice to connect — to find ourselves in the other.

bell hooks

A feminist pioneer and social critic, bell hooks (1952-2021) is known for her work on the intersections of race and gender, emphasizing the experiences of Black women. Her 2000 book “All About Love” recasts love as a communal and multifaceted choice, bigger than the sentimental concept we often see in society. Similarly, hooks often touted community care as the key to creating radical social change. Her words here remind us that at its root, love is about connection with others — and that intimacy can change our lives and ourselves.
