Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, joins the world in honoring the extraordinary life and legacy of our beloved Honorary Member, Yolande Cornelia “Nikki” Giovanni. Nikki Giovanni, an acclaimed poet and literary icon, peacefully transitioned on December 9, 2024. Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, on June 7, 1943, Soror Giovanni was a trailblazer who inspired the world through revolutionary work. She served as a University Distinguished Professor in the English Department at Virginia Tech and received hundreds of awards and honors. She was most recently awarded a 2024 Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking for Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project. As one of the most celebrated poets of her time, Soror Giovanni used her art to articulate the joys, struggles, and triumphs of the Black experience. Her works, such as Ego-Tripping and Black Feeling, Black Talk/ Black Judgement, inspired generations to embrace their identity, challenge societal norms, and pursue justice with courage and conviction. Soror Giovanni was inducted into Honorary Membership during the 32nd National Convention in August 1973. She was proud to share in our bond of Sisterhood with both her mother (Yolande Giovanni) and sister (Gary Ann Giovanni), who were also members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. She was an ideal Delta whose work and life deeply reflect the ideals of our Sorority. We celebrate her life with profound gratitude for her triumphant contributions to the arts, activism, and our Sorority. We extend our deepest condolences to her family (wife, Virginia Fowler; son, Thomas Giovanni; granddaughter, Kai Giovanni; two cousins, Haynes Ford and Allison [Pat] Ragan; and a nephew, Christopher Black.) and all who cherished her. May our beloved Soror Nikki Giovanni take her rest, knowing that her job here on earth was done exceptionally well. #DST1913
