Dr. Maya Angelou has died



We have lost a great person today.

Renowned Poet, writer and civil rights leader Dr. Maya Angelou died at her home in North Carolina at the age of 86.

Maya was found by her caretaker and the local mayor confirmed it. It was reported that Maya had been battling health problems, which led her to cancel an appearance to a special event honoring her.

We all know how Maya's work inspired the world. Her journey and experiences were paramount to the stories she told in her poems.

Maya was/is a force that has moved many of us over the years. May she rest in peace

She reminds me of Emma Peel.
Rest in peace and thanks for giving America a conscious. See you again one day.
