Dr. Maya Angelou was truly a Phenomenal Woman. I have read her books, watched her interviews, recited her poetry, and listened to her words of wisdom throughout my life. I thank her for all of her direct, teachable moments. Dr. Angelou never spoke empty rhetoric. Thank you for demanding that little black girls rise to the occasion and for setting a positive example for all to follow.

Maya Angelou taught me so many things. They are too numerous to account but she also taught the importance of quietude! She was simply the best! Rest well Dr. Maya Angelou…

Your writings & phrases have touched my heart for many years. When I needed to hear the bottom line truth they were there to keep me encouraged & as well as keep my eye on the prize. I will truly miss you & I love you from the bottom of my heart. Rest in paradise, Dr. Angelou

“When people show you who they are….believe them.” Such true and powerful words from an immeasurable literary presence.

You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

“I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” changed my life’s naive perspective. From the brutality of racism, the trauma of rape and high school motherhood, God was cultivating in her, a Phoenix that rose from the ashes of life’s cruel circumstances. Dr. Maya’s book gave me strength, determination, pride and solice as a young Black woman. With love and appreciation, I thank you, Dr. Maya Angelou; Godspeed❤️

I am so grateful for Dr. Angelou. I as a young black girl living in Indiana was told by a teacher that I belonged in the wild with animals. I felt dumb and lost. I heard this powerful poem and it sparked curiosity in me to go to the library. I was introduced to the works of Dr. Angelou. Her books let me see myself broken but not hopeless. Through her I was able to see that I was, am a Child of God and was capable. I dreamed and read and over came the reading struggles and most importantly I overcame the lie I was told and went on to college. I had children and created a environment for them to love reading and inspire to dream big. I loved her because God used her as a vessel to show a lil’ black girl that she was not alone and that she was capable to do anything she set her mind to. I was grateful to here this was going to be broadcasted .I had hopes that I would be able to allow my daughter to see what a living angle was. I thank you family for sharing and I thank you Dr.Angelo for sharing your life and inspiring mine.

Today I am sadden by the loss of someone that I did not know intimately. But I am thankful to God that you shared your life and your creative gifts with the world. Today I am also reminded of a song entitled, ” May the works I’ve done Speak for Me.” I think this is a very befitting song for the remarkable work you have done and the enduring legacy you have left the world to treasure.

I read I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS for the first time in third grade, back in the early 80s. It was given to my by a teacher in an attempt to shame me because she felt I wasn’t ready for chapter books. As an 8-9 year old, most of the book was way beyond my level, as I literally expected it to be about birds. However, the 7 year old Maya assured my 8 year old self and let me know I too would be ok.
Maya Angelou was always a strong voice in what could at times feel like a raging storm. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting her, I did get to hear her speak and I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to roam the Earth at the same time as this incredible human being
Forever in my heart, rest safely in His arms, Dr. Maya Angelou.
