I played a significant role in the Harlem Renaissance, a cultural and artistic movement that took place in Harlem, New York, during the 1920s and 1930s. Hurston was known for my contributions to literature, particularly for my novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God," which is considered a seminal work of African American literature.

My work emphasized the importance of African American folklore, language, and culture. I celebrated the unique experiences and perspectives of black Americans, and my writing reflected the rich traditions and heritage of African American communities. My storytelling style, infused with humor, authenticity, and a deep understanding of her characters, resonated with readers and critics alike.

During the Harlem Renaissance, I was part of a vibrant community of artists, writers, musicians, and intellectuals who sought to challenge stereotypes and promote the achievements and creativity of African Americans. Along with other influential figures such as Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and Countee Cullen, I helped to shape the cultural landscape of the Harlem Renaissance and bring attention to the richness and diversity of African American art and literature.
