Dr MAYA ANGELOU – an inspirational woman.
Jah’s hair and hair in general.
26/05/2014Jah’s hair is cut at last. Robert, the children’s cousin comes to stay.
09/06/2014One day I intend to write a blog post on black role models. When we were bringing up our boys, I suppose we concentrated more on male role models.
Now that we have a beautiful black granddaughter, I shall also be thinking of black female role models. I know there are many, but today I am thinking especially of Maya Angelou, who died on 28th May 2014. She was an award-winning author, renowned poet and civil rights activist. She had such a full life, triumphing over early trauma and poverty.
There have been many eloquent words written about Dr. Maya Angelou. I simply want to say that I have loved her books and feel full of gratitude to her, for the books, for her poetry , the example of her life and her wise words.
Here are some of her books from my bookshelf.
RiP Maya Angelou.
