Zora's Song: Genius Among Mortals by Mahoganee

“As a native South Carolinian, Gullah Geechee woman I harnessed and tapped into the spiritual essence and energy of the time that Zora spent in the antebellum South in Beaufort South Carolina where I live. This song was composed and written to honor and pay deep homage to our Ancestor and Literary Icon Zora Neale Hurston. It is a historical musical weaving of Zora’s Story Titles and the bright light of a Full Moon shining on her Genius. It speaks to the strength of black women and how we give until we are depleted. I am deeply inspired and touched by Zora's journey and her level of creativity. Zora's love for our people and our culture allowed me to feel more deeply about myself and my own individuality, family history and ancestry.”
