Nikki Giovanni: Hello, my name is Nikki Giovanni and we don't actually know how we got it. Giovanni is a first name. When I go to Italy, everybody says, "Giovanni, Giovanni, how did you get that name?" I said my daddy, because that's how I got it. I teach at Virginia Tech, go Hokies. This is Nikki Giovanni, the poet. Bye-bye.
