Maya Angelou: A Life in Truth✍🏿✨🤍

Review compiled by Philile Precious Ndlovu

Maya Angelou was more than a writer✨.
She was a voice for people who felt unheard. Through her poems and stories, she spoke honestly about pain, strength, and what it means to rise above hardship. Her book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings changed the way many people saw Black women’s lives, and her poems like Still I Rise and Phenomenal Woman became powerful affirmations of pride and resilience. She lived many lives as a dancer, singer, activist, and teacher and everything she did was rooted in truth and dignity. Maya didn’t just write words, she moved people with them. Her voice still echoes, reminding us to stand tall, speak out, and never be afraid of our story.
