So many important themes in a tiny book.

Maya Angelou’s life story is a wonder and testament of strength that women, especially, women of color are born with. So brutally, yet innocently honest about the hardships, wonders, and traumas of life.

It was an honor to read her story and to learn about another person’s walk of life. She teaches us that no matter the pain, the suffering, the horrors, the cages : we must always find a way to sing.

It’s hard to give a poet anything but five stars on their autobiography. I can’t imagine having such a strong memory of my formative years after going through so many transitions and traumas.
