Abstract: Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), the most prominent of the Harlem Renaissance women writers, was unique because her social and professional connections were not limited to literature but encompassed theatre, dance, film, anthropology, folklore, music, politics, high society, academia, and artistic bohemia. Hurston published four novels, three books of nonfiction, and dozens of short stories, plays, and essays. In addition, she won a long list of fellowships and prizes, including a Guggenheim and a Rosenwald.The perennial work of Zora Neale Hurston is a grand model for women of color to exemplify. Her intersectionality of being an HBCU graduate and sorority member resonates in our lives and informs our individual talents and professional development as women.
