I have so much respect for Dr. Maya Angelou. It’s sad when a powerful voice and spirit like Maya Angelou isn’t acknowledged until death, but in this moment many of us take the time to honor her memory by posting pictures, her poems and books. I will admit that reading her words empower me and gives me the courage to face anything. Her words make me proud to be me, a woman, and to respect myself and love myself. Thank you Dr. Maya Angelou for your inspiration.

Rest in eternal happiness Maya 💋
