    I could sit and listen to her story’s all day. You could learn alot from her just by listening.

    I have adored Alice Walker for decades now. She is an amazing human being, clear-minded, compassionate, courageous, and authentic. Her work has kept me sane in an insane world. I am grateful to and for her.

    What a beautiful woman, inside and out! Like a previous poster stated, I could listen to her talk all day long. She has a very soothing, comforting voice.

    I love her so much. I met her in the early 2000s. I was so moved by her presence and my reading of her book "In Search of Our Mother's Gardens" that I became overwhelmed in telling her how her stories impacted my own life.

    Wow her life's story is a movie. As a young person I could listen to her speak all day. So many wonderful life lessons and jewels found in this interview. Beautifully done!

    This is such a wonderful interview. As a woman born at the end of the 1960s, I was born during the civil rights era but grew up in a misogynistic household because my mother died at such a young age. For me, Ms. Walker's works illuminate so much of the darkness within me as a woman AND as a writer, and I will forever be grateful. May she always be blessed by God.

    She looks exceptionally radiant and talks so articulate for someone who's 69 years old (this interview took place in 2013). I wish I could have half her energy when I get to her age.

    As a Kenyan studying in the US and currently reading 'Meridian' by Alice Walker for my literature class, and watching this video, it feels great to understand her story. I am also proud to hear that her first book began in Kenya. Thank you Alice Walker for your continued inspiration 🇰🇪🇰🇪❤️❤️

    She is one of the best writers alive today - of any colour. Sorry Americans but you don't own her, she is too great - she is global - like Arundhati roy, Murakami, Salman Rushdie, Alan Bennet, Mohsin Hamid or Iosbelle Carmody. ... I cannot think of anyone else alive that is universally as poignant - obviously there are many greats that are dead. like 99.9% more.

      How privileged of you to make such an ignorant statement.
      You can't have her. To have her is to change everything that informed her need to write. Didn't you listen to her stories?

      I am not surprised because she has been a powerful writer before Oprah or Whoopi was on TV. Spielberg may have made some impact on the movie but not so much in her life story. This interview is mostly based on her life as an African-American woman writer and more

      Actually the whole point of the novel was to highlight the gender based violence within black community. That Gender violence exist everywhere, in every community. Its a sad truth. She wanted to showcase the female solidarity, sisterhood and queerness of black woman.
