CWM extends it’s deepest condolences to the family and friends of living icon ..and woman Maya Angelou! Your impact will never be forgotten.MAYA TRIBUTE

Dr. Maya Angelou is one of the most renowned and influential voices of our time. Hailed as a global renaissance woman, Dr. Angelou is a celebrated poet, memoirist, novelist, educator, dramatist, producer, actress, historian, filmmaker, and civil rights activist.

 

Born on April 4th, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri, Dr. Angelou was raised in St. Louis and Stamps, Arkansas. In Stamps, Dr. Angelou experienced the brutality of racial discrimination, but she also absorbed the unshakable faith and values of traditional African-American family, community, and culture.

CWM asked it’s readers what Maya meant to them:

– A woman of extraordinary strength, courage, and excellence.- afrophiremag on IG

An inspiration. When I first read her encounter of being sexually abused when she was younger, it showed me how speaking out takes the power away from tragedy that caused me shame.- Christina L. Mial

 

An Instigator of powerful words manifested into reality. A Powerhouse Poet- Rhonda Nails
