My Lena

Lena Horne

Dancer, actress, vocalist, activist

1917 - 2010

She lived a full life, and I'm so grateful for her presence in our world.

Lena did real work for social change. She didn't just stick her name on a foundation and call it activism. She didn't just pose for photo ops. She was what I've always worked to be: a woman of substance.

May her spirit live forever on.
