MY MAYA...ODE TO MAYA ANGELOU! 

Today, we loss an international icon, Maya Angelou.

Why do I call her “My Maya”?  Maya Angelou was my inspiration for speaking from your inner voice of wisdom and intellect. She had a way of finding the lesson in her life and the lives of others and placing those lessons in books, prose and poems.  Her mere presence spoke of dignity, kindness, intellect, beauty, finesse and more. She commanded respect and attention from everyone she encountered.

I have read many of her books and poems and watched her speak. While I never had the honor of interviewing her, I have often spoken to her in my mind. I asked her how do you know so much and how are you able to share it so eloquently? I heard her say, “Baby, you just do what you were meant to do and it will work.”

So I take my work – my words – and give honor to you Dr. Maya Angelou!
