I think of Maya Angelou as the world's fairy Godmother! She is everything to me. A special gift God gave to the world. My oh my...rest in paradise my queen🙏
Akosua Nyarko thank you so much. And may God bless you also. If there was any human being I could sit in the room and talk to you for for five hours it would be MIA
Thank you ThamesTv for posting this. I love and admire Dr. Angelou. I feel cheated never having known her personally. I watch videos of her over and over again because I want to be better and do better. Thank you Ms. Nicholson for the interview.
Oh I just love listening to Maya Angelou, it almost seem as if I know her. I could listen to her daily. There is always a gem 💎. She’s helped me so much
"When society pushes you back, you should put yourself forward." She's brilliant. The thing about American journalists, ask about the same thing over and over and over.... about the molestation incident.
I am reading right now, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." It is not just about Ms. Angelou's hardships, there is a lot of comedic wit, beauty, and love in there as well.
@@TheJohnpandy Awful man who ruined television. Said she was old and boring (think he was projecting). Mavis provided so much of my early cultural education. Hope she's well.
I once met Mavis in the village where she lived in North Powys. She was lovely her book about her relationship with her grandmother was adorable. Jxxx ❤️
I didn’t understand that huge burst of radiant emotions when she talked about her son, then one month later I finished my reading of I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. That dull environment of her childhood memories in Stamp, she’s surrounded by warm family members in a hostile white-dominated society, her juvenile, extremely innocent mind(that mindset lasted the whole book despite in the end of the book she was pregnant by a confused, love looking journey. I interpret that as her life was too plain for her advanced mind, she’s trying to figure out her boundary even she’s still a child herself). Her stubbornness kept her trying to absorb wit from a totally strange world. Her loneliness, partly caused by the separation from her parents. Her optimism, she told herself that “see, my life is as adventurous as anyone else. Her rebellion, after defending her mother against Dolores, she ran away and survived in big city alone a whole month. As a child, she didn’t even trying to hold grudge of all those shit happened to her, that deep religious belief that she convinced herself, “I’m good, I’ll continue trying to be good, because I’m loved by God, as a result that mighty existence will protect me against all the true evil in my life. Again, as a child, she didn’t do things to recover from trauma, she didn’t know how. Finally, the impact, or I would prefer to say that a hole, of those big and small mental cuts from Mr. Freeman, his death, Dolores, the ignorance of arrogance white, the ignorance of her people, the hole created by unpleasant experiences filled by the maternal nature as a woman.
BLIS B. Mavis is a great interviewer. Puts the interviewee at ease. Asks some deep questions. Let's her speak. Maya comes across really well as a result.
When you are inadvertently great at such a young age and your goal is to keep growing that's what the world will see. You see her that way because of how we revere her. At least, that's what I get from your comment. Update: Never mind, I see what you did there.
Yes exactly. I never got her because I had only know the Oprah Maya which was so grandiose and puffed up. But in her younger day she was so human, accessible and down to earth and interesting.

...whenever I lose my faith in humanity, I watch videos of Maya and all the other beautiful sages...I just wish we had more...
same with me ... I am in seaech of many people ... because of them are still here ❤❤
Always!
She had every reason to hate. But chose to love. And love she did!!She changed a 63-year-old white man’s life. Mine.
Ed Hammond beautiful are you! Thank you for sharing
Bless you!
Akosua Nyarko thank you so much. And may God bless you also. If there was any human being I could sit in the room and talk to you for for five hours it would be MIA

Two amazing ladies in illuminating conversation.
Illuminating conversation is such a good expression 👍
Dr.Maya Angelu is truly a great role model. Worthy to be emulated
I love you so much Dr. Maya. You touch me from deep within beyond words.
May your sweet soul rest in peace.
Every interview I see of her is more mind-blowing than the last

"When society pushes you back, you should put yourself forward."
She's brilliant.
The thing about American journalists, ask about the same thing over and over and over.... about the molestation incident.
...and you mean to say?... Perhaps you want to say something about yourself ...as in your peculiar choice of monikers...

Kai Geddes ourp
And a voice which you just have to listen
I started reading that book also
Loved her book..❤
I love her voice.
This is such a beautiful interview. Thanks for the post!!!
This interviewer was digging for something, she seemed perplexed about Maya’s self love 💕
Maya and Mavis were very good friends, and Mavis was one of Maya’s favourite interviewers because she asked the questions that challenged.
Look at Maya in her younger days, I love how poised she is!!
❤
The level of transparency she got to is inspirational. 👍
Indeed, you are correct. 👍
I enjoyed this....I adore mavis as an interviewer.
When Michael Grade dropped Mavis from Channel 4 I went into mourning. John Sivorn.

I love this interview, its like they are best friends
They were very good friends, and Mavis was one of Maya’s favourite interviewers.
I'm quite sure that Colin gets to often say, "Look at my Grandma, she's a brilliant & iconic woman. I'm so proud of her!"
I love May Angelous voice and her books. xoxoxoxox
I’m convinced Dr. Angelou was a prophet.
Love her and the Queen that interviewed a legendary #Queen 🤝👸🏽👸🏻☮️💕🙏🏽🦾🦾😇🌎✨💝
She's always been my mother in my head.
It seems to me in this interview she is trying to find if she ever had a breaking point in her life or why was she so strong and complete
I could listen to her speak forever, I wasn't ready for it to cut off like that. Is there more to this interview, I'd love to see it.
I'm so glad that Dr. Maya Angelo had the faith to believe that she would get her grandson back 🔙 and she did. Power of FAITH.
She's fantastic
@5;40 is "when you know better you do better". Maya.

Love this❤
In for a penny, in for a pound. I love that!!!
What a woman!
That lesbian story was such an eye opener, honestly..
❤️
It's amazing that because of her articulation of words, we can't hear an accent of any kind.
I love her
*i idolize My MOTHER...my dOg..not some film or popstar...if maya were alive, she´d agree with me..Ricky*
The child wasnt missing, he was with his mother. The same agony they felt she felt.
This Beautiful Rainbow 🌈 is my role model , now I can say I have one truly ❤ beautiful woman 👩 a Queen 👸 ❤ ♥
a literary giant
Presentation in Grand Rapids Mi
I'm a woman I'm no play thing. ❤💖

What a horrible interviewer...... sheesh!
Love Maya......

Really? What did you disagree with?
?
The interviewer is so disrespectful with Maya
I DO NOT like this interviewer!
I love the earlier Maya Angelou before she got too pontifical.
Joshua Taylor, she was always political. The politics of hope.

Maya was always accessible and grandiose at the same time. She was never attainable however, she was MAYA freaking ANGELOU.
