Writer bell hooks says people must resist "culture of fear."

In 2018, hooks said she was grateful to hear from so many people about how her writing had affected their lives and work. “I want my work to be about healing,” she said. “I am a fortunate writer because every day of my life practically I get a letter, a phone call from someone who tells me how my work has transformed their life.”
