Howard University yearbook, Zora contributed a couple of tongue-in-cheek pieces: “A Chapter From the Book of Life” and “An Academic Nightmare.” She was listed as a member of the Stylus, Zeta Phi Beta, and the Howard Players—the campus theatrical company. “Zora’s greatest ambition,” the yearbook divulged, “is to establish herself in Greenwich Village where she may write stories and poems and live an unrestrained Bohemian.”
From seventh grade on, all I wanted was to live amongst other writers and artists. I worked hard to have a career and a life. I was good and supportive to people when they asked me for advise or time. I didn’t hurt anyone and I made sure to report everything that I could about the people stalking me. Why am I denied everything I worked for, everything I earned, and everything I’ve ever owned.
