    No single day passes without listening to her speeches. Her Angelic voice frees the mind.

    I was blessed to be in the audience in 1998 to hear this angel speak.

    I have enough courage to admit I never knew just how ignorant I was until listening to Maya Angelo speak. The great thing is it's never to late to change for the better💖

    Her poem "The Courage To Live" reportedly saved the life of someone that was contemplating suicide! OMG!

    I needed this today. I'm an ally who doesn't need to come out but I need to break free of my self-built cage and pursue my writing career with faith! I miss & love you, Maya. Continue to rest peacefully!
