Maya Angelou was a powerful writer and speaker who shared her amazing life story with the world! When she was a little girl, she went through some very hard times and stopped talking for a few years. But she loved reading beautiful books and poetry, which helped her find her strong, brave voice again! She grew up to write a famous book about her childhood that helped many people feel brave, too.
Maya traveled all over the world to share her poems, act in plays, and help people treat each other kindly! She even read one of her beautiful poems for a very special celebration when a new president was chosen. Her wonderful words remind us to be proud of who we are and to always keep hope in our hearts. We remember Maya for using her voice to bring so much light and love to everyone!
