[...] Then, her tweets became less frequent. I thought it was because she was working on a screenplay for Feminista. She had already deleted her blog, so I suppose that if I were one of her real life friends, I would have seen the signs of depression. For someone I didn’t know, hearing of her death last week really had an impact on me. You can read more about her and her untimely death in this New York Times article and her impact on those around her in this blog post by Afrobella. [...]

I used to follow her articles when I was younger and read VIBE and all those other pop culture magazines because I wanted to be a fly journalist like Eric, dreamhampton, Danyelle Smith, Aliya S. King… She was a great writer and it seems an awesome spirit to be around. I did not know her personally but I am saddened by her death.

What an honest, heartfelt tribute Bella!. I love this. You paid a fitting tribute to your friend, it don’t matter whether you ever met her in the flesh or not. She made an impact on your life & your work & that’s what matters! I had just a few interactions with Erica via Twitter over the years & I just feel devastated about this. Her voice not being here any longer is a tragedy. It breaks my heart. From Twitter & her blog, I felt like I knew her. Not intimately, of course, but I felt like “this chick gets it. And I get her” Even though the extent of my exposure to her was a few replies she gave me, she made such an impact on me. As the saying goes, Quality not quantity… RIP Erica, you will be sorely missed. Funny, I haven’t been on here in a while, this would be the post to lead me back to you. Been too long.

Peace.

OMG I am shocked!!!! My last images of her was when she did the big chop and posted on her blog. She was an awesome writer. Remember when she was writing that memoir of that old lady in Aventura? Wow, can’t believe she’s gone

I truly appreciated this piece on Erica. I didn’t know her personally. However, I did read her work and loved Feminista and Bling. I find that there are mother-sister-warriors who enter our lives and inspire us to reach our levels. Our gifts to them for their love and inspiration is to live our lives to the fullest, unabashedly and with no shame. Keep on keeping on. I love your blog!
