you are a rainbow to someone's cloud-RIP Ms. Maya Angelou
Location
A renowned poet and author whose worked defies description under a simply label
Maya Angelou has died at age 86,
She had been sick recently, but the nature of her illness was not disclosed.
A professor, singer and dancer, among other things that define her legacy that impacted my poems
After dropping out at age 14, she become the city’s first African-American female cable car conductor.
Angelou later returned to high school to finish her diploma and gave birth to her son a few weeks after graduation
this goes to show there is no quit so children
please stop making excuses for not going to school and fulfilling society's stereotype
you have no idea about hardships
maya created herself
she taught herself
indeed she did
look at her resume, it speaks for itself
The famous poet got into writing after a childhood tragedy that stunned her into silence for almost a decade.
When she was 7, her mother’s boyfriend raped her.
He was later beaten to death by a mob after she testified against him.
maya once quoted saying "“My 7-and-a-half-year-old logic deduced that my voice had killed him, so I stopped speaking for almost six years,”
From the silence, a louder voice was born.
