- Maya Angelou born Marguerite Annie Johnson April 4, 1928 - May 28, 2014) was an American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. She received dozens of awards and more than 50 honorary degrees. Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim.
I remember in one of her interviews with Oprah she wept when she said "God loves me so much". And that statement has changed my relationship with God. I realized how much I am loved by God.
Just reading this brings tears. TYJ!!!
Same here! Because it resonates with us!!
Soon as she spoke about the volatile young man who broke down into tears, during making of Poetic Justice pic of Pac' flashed thru my mind
Wow!!
@@melissastone1531 huiioop
When Maya Angelou speaks, there is a certain quality to her voice that makes you sit up & listen.
You just know you needed to hear whatever she is saying, Damm bread recipe!!
Very well put. Exactly 💯 how I feel.
Yesssss
💯💯💯
That's the beauty of kindness and love towards humanity
Maya Angelou is a testament to never giving up in life, because she never did!
To keep my calm during adversity. I keep reminding myself of her famous quote. “When someone show you who they are. Believe them.”
" the first time " believe them
Yes.
One of my favorite!

Lord have mercy oooooooochile yessssss. Runnnnn❤❤❤❤
Rest in peace Ms Maya 🙏🏾 🕊️
I once hugged a teacher who had constantly been bullying me at work and she weepers like a baby.She carried on with her abusive behavior and I just let her be and changed my perspective of her.
Never allow anyone to abuse you, Never.
She's the reason why I love reading and poetry.
Same Queen same with me :)
Me too
I would watch the way Oprah interacted with her, told me how highly she thought of her. TBH never read "I know why caged bird sings" but loved reading Alex Haley, Claude Brown, Nathan McCAll, from Stephen King to Now non-fiction rags to riches gets my attention every time. Stay blessed 👁️
Please suggest me some of her poems and books. Please
@@minakshitrivedi9068 one of her excellent books is called I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Truly appreciate her contributions to humanity, from trials to triumphs! What a blessing!
*Maya's spirit flows gently through the air. I'm so much appreciative of her sharing such deep dark details of her life. I love the way she pulled herself away from the evil forwarded to her and found the strength of healing at her own pace. My "BELOVED"💕 friend, your work on Earth continues.*
What you said was simply beautiful, thank you!!😇
Please research Jigger Victims
Justice F. All
YOU said it All in such a beautiful beautiful way. Thank you...truer words were never so eloquently spoken!!
Her story is truly amazing.
It's true, when you accept that death is inevitable, then you give life your best shot at living.
She is a Queen for all of us to follow and she overcame so many unspoken obstacles because all she was about was the love of God.
What a privilege this lady was for humanity!!!
I love this video, but whoever generated the closed caption, please fix it, the words are inaccurate in some places. Thank you!
The sad part is that the words are apart of the video. Edit the video and erase the words or please correct them because the wording is awful.
This occurs with close captioning ..words are often translated completely wrong
Happens on my caption call phone for heating impaired persons 😊
I also find it very off that pictures of so many white people are used in the video, especially in that part starting 1:34 where Angelou clearly speaks about a young Black man.
Yeah! Like in 1:57 she says "that was Tupac Shakur", not: sure cool or whatever
@@dianthus_rubrum racist much?
Who cares on whether it's white or black.
We're equal.. or have you not woken up yet?
You need more healing
"And, there is nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic, because it means the the person goes has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing"... I hope we all give our young more to believe in.
I had the privilege of hearing Ms. Angelou speak in person at my HBCU alma mater back in ‘96. I remember the assembly room, packed with college students, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. We hung on her every word! Her way of speaking is soothing to the soul. Her wisdom is classic and timeless. She will go down as one the the greatest writers and orators of all time. 🕊
She is a Great
We will never forget x
Absolutely agree 💯
So unique GOD BLESS her soul gone but never forgotten awesomeness
U had a blessing to b listening to Such A Woman In Person 🙏👌
Never had the privilege to meet her but studied one of her books at UNI and admire her wisdom.
I saw her at UC Irvine as a senior in 2001... most AMAZING experience ever and Ive been obsessed with her ever since. I just found out my neighbor who grew up in the south and now teaches music in Los Angeles, played Music WITH HER! Like OMG Dude YOU WIN, Im so jealous! Im finishing my English credential right now, and I vow to never let this amazing woman's works and all she did for not just black women, but ALL WOMEN, be forgotten.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,520 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
This phenomenal woman will always be one of my favorite souls. ❤️❤️❤️
Love her, her words live on.
Thank you Mrs. Maya Angelou for allowing God to use you as a tool to bring light to people who are in darkness. Rest in Paradise Queen❤💓
I got to hear her speak twice at Clemson University, in Clemson SC and another time at the Black Health Expo in Greenville, SC. Every single time I was Spellbound. She was a shooting star. ✨ Rest in Power Queen. 🙏🏽🤎 ✝️
As a teacher, I played inspirational speeches to my 7th graders of Angelou and Michelle Obama. Nearly all preferred Angelou. I think it had something to do with the quality of her voice and aged wisdom. I like both individuals very much.
To me there is no comparison, Maya is exceptional💕
Frank b, Godiss Maya has a charismatic charm and enchantment that few possess. The first time I heard her, I was preparing for work and as a flight attendant; to be late was unacceptable. I literally took the tv into the bath and propped it up to not miss a word. WHO is this woman... I had to know! The eloquence with which she spoke was spellbinding. Yes, indeed!
@Frank I would say almost 💯the attraction /pull towards Angelou has to do with the Love of God in her heart. People who have this Love, it radiates through them. They are ‘different’ and attract people like a magnet 🧲
Your second person is like a celebrity type. So it’s just for their fame etc. Maya Angelou’s voice is electrifying, painful and peaceful. RIP 💐🤍🕊
IMHO, no comparison between the two women. Maya Angelou has shared her God given gifts with the world with her words and deeds. Her messages are T I M E L E S S.
@@SisterShirley 👍💯Agree. I’d dare say Maya Angelou’s sacrifice granted her that place like Moses in the mountain to see God’s glory. RIP 💐✝️🌻
That's a woman of authentic power - a woman of real hard fought peace and love, of real dignity. She's someone you couldn't mess with because she could see right into your soul, because she'd seen right into, and endured her own, the good the bad and the ugly. I have no first hand evidence of this. I just glean it from listening to her and from the legacy she has left behind.
To the person reading this. Trust the Process, Your Time is Coming💯 Do your best and God will do the rest. Make it a Great Day, Remember the Choice is Yours. Stay blessed everyone!💯🌴🌴🌴🌴🙏🙏🙏
God had nothing to do with simply being a good person. Period.
❤️🙏❤️
Thank you
Thank you God bless
Thank you. God bless you all❤❤❤🙏
RIP queen of poetry your words will live on.
If you’re reading this comment, it’s too late, you’ve already been immensely blessed with an abundance of love, wealth, luck, health, joy, and whatever else your heart desires!! I’m so proud of you for surviving everything you’ve been through. This is your sign to go after what your heart most desires for the highest good, it’s your time
I needed this word at the top of TODAY. I am receptive to that which is necessary to continue on my journey.
Thank you I receive
Bless you darling!!!!!!!! May every wish, desire, and dream you have come true. We trust. We agree. We believe. We learn. We receive. We achieve. Amen 🙏🏾
Amen I accept ams receive it in the name of Jesus AMEN 🙏🏾
Thank you 😊❤️
💔so much pain Tupac experienced and Ms. Angelou recognized it🥰Thank her for showing him grace🌹RIP to them both
Dr. Maya Angelou was extraordinary.
Hello Schawnetta
how are you doing today?
"Either eat your words or stand by them." Such truth.
This blessed me in a way I can't explain. My tears are the only language expressive enough to start to communicate my feelings.
So blessed to have this woman in our lives!!!!
What a remarkable person she was!😎💙 Too bad, she is gone! 😕My favorite quote, from her: "If you know better, you do better" 🧡💛🧡
I had the extra special blessing of having this extraordinary woman who I admired for decades gave me a warm loving mothering hug. I’ll never forget how that felt. Not for the rest of my life. Rest in paradise Queen 👑. You are loved. ❤️
As the beauty of this soul continues to touch hearts and change minds it is no wonder love and joy spilled from her when she spoke of Gods love. To think she a sister to all humanity is just one of the blessed among us. She certainly encourages us to shine our light. Thank you God for our sister.
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Hello Susan
Regular conversation with this lady had to be epic
Maya Angelou, you are so inspiring! I have seen your books at my previous job but never read any of them. Too busy selling them. You have passed not knowing your story. Now at the age of 61 and have a more relaxing job, I will start reading your books. My housemate told me about this video and watched it. Thank you for sharing your life story❤
The library is a beautiful treasure and many jewels in our teachings are left by this amazing soul. Wisdom that teaches love and self-respect.
From a traumatic childhood, I made poor choices as I aged. Until I heard Maya's quote "I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better." This idea that we have skewed childhood logic and an unreasonable level of responsibility to what happened to us changed my life. I was able to see I was only a child dealing the best way I could. And in many ways I stayed a "child" until my 40's. I became an addiction treatment counselor and often paraphrased Maya's message as "You did what you knew how to do and when you knew better, you did better."
Mary
God bless you!
🙏🤩🌷🌷
God bless your soul. You changed your journey for the benefit of others.
She is such an inspiration!
Amazing woman! You'll always be a blessing to us,Maya.🥰😍😍😍

Yeh Baby Agree x

Queen Maya has always been EVERYTHING!
I think this lady is truly a beautiful person and so full of wisdom.
I wish I could meet her just to listen to her words of wisdom .
WHAT A LOVELY SOUL💝
She is so beautiful and kind! Full of love!!!
Listening to her... life is so simple... so easy... so beautiful! Thank you ❤
Love and kindness builds bridges to one another. Amen.
As the tears roll down my cheek
I truly appreciate your words of truth
And in this very moment I rise from the notion that I caused that as I did not ask for any of it
Thank You 🙏
Hello, how’re you doing
Offers hugs and solidarity
Magnificent light in our world and we are better off in immeasurable ways having had her. Changed my life.
Thank you, Maya you beautiful soul. ❤
Dr. Maya Angelou is one the greatest intellectuals to ever walk the face of the earth. ✊🏼👊🏼♥️🧠💡🌍📚
Truth
My deepest respect to Maya Angelou ! Rest and peace! heart ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I love her
She's a special woman who comes from adversity and she turns it around and she's a winner from herself she speaks from her so and she turns the bad to good and I love the book I read about her it was difficult and hard that she's an example of a shining star from God
I love this woman more than words could ever describe
Me too
Don't you just feel like crying when you hear her testimony?
You just said what so many of us feel for her.
@@lynzara yes!
I know right!
I love this woman & her knowledge of all things. She was wise & caring. I enjoy watching her, reading about her, listening to her. RIP Mrs. Anjelou
Maya was an amazing, loving, kind, intelligent, beautiful, woman. 💛
Much thanks for no matter how old we get we never stop learning
Love Maya Angelou 💞rest in peace forever a wise woman🕊️
This woman was indeed phenomenal! I Treasure me some Maya Angelou!!!
She was down here in the south a couple of young white boys was following her through the airport teasing her. Probably saying unpleasant things as they walked behind her giggling. She stopped and took them aside and spoke to them. I don't know what she said. But from a distance they walked off humbled and wiping their eyes... She was so composed and continue on her way greeting on lookers with a smile, like she was gone love no matter what they say. Many years ago... REST IN THE POWER OF LOVE BEAUTIFUL
Wow. What a beautiful soul, god bless her
Amen! This woman was so deep and well versed. I love her. I wish I could have met her and shook her hand. Her, Michele Obama, Oprah, and many others are definitely trailblazers. Educated, well spoken Queens. 👏 . RIP MRS. ANGELOU. YOU DEFINITELY EARNED YOUR RESPECT AND HONOR. 🙏
She was a beautiful human being! A teacher to humanity 💖💖🙏
Hello Patricia. How are you doing today. Hope all is going well over there?
wow what a story! I love her poetry! ❤️
Yeah she was a very famous woman in the year 1928-2014..
How are you doing over there Brittany hope everything is perfectly going well with you and family..?
One of the most beautiful human beings EVVVVVER 🌹, I thank her for her wisdom and beautiful poetry and gorgeous soul
As a mother of two girls, and as a woman who was molested by a physician, my heart and mind honors the man who kicked to death the worthless p.o.s that raped her. I wish more men not only defended the females in their lives, but also took vengeance when the legal system (may) fail to bring proper punishment.
Hi Kimberly Wax, How’re you doing
And what if the vengeance is against another female?
Keep going n guard your girls
Justice can take many forms
@@sarnathkerala8160 Yes, we need to protect our girls but much more importantly, we must teach our boys to be good, moral, and brave people.
My name is the same ... Marguerite. How is it possible.... I just came to say: Lots of love for You Maya!
Editor fkd up her whole speech! A lot of wrong words!
I was looking for this comment ; out of respect it should be taken down an done properly.
One of the greatest sister women of God ever peace ✌ 🙏 and blessings 🙏
I agreed a long time ago that I would die.
Now, (whew) if I can admit that,
that no matter what happens,
I will do this thing,
this is the biggest bugaboo of them all.
I will do that, well then why couldn't I attempt, something lesser?
So I will try.
-Maya Angelou
What a phenomenal woman. Definitely a one of a kind spirit. Thank you, Dr. Angelou. 🖤
Gosh....that was so beautiful. I was listening so intentionally and I actually learned something from this short video.
Maya you are just awesome. Ive always loved you
"If I can deal with the biggest bugaboo--death---I can deal with this lesser thing." I like that phrase. Phenomenal woman.
Oh my God🙏🏻so much strength 🙏🏻so wise🙏🏻thank you for sharing so much🙏🏻❤️
The epitome of grace and elegance of soul.
This woman is "THE WHYS" of the wise!!
The calm in her speech is amazing. Maya showcases a very rare master Of words and talking. Poetry is her speech, incredible composed and melodic talk that forces everybody to open door.
Ms Angelou talking to 2Pac. What a time to be alive.
One thing she said that I still consider daily is; ‘people will usually forget what you say, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel’. It’s a great quote for a world over involved in semantics. It’s a lesson I’m learning constantly. Make people feel good about themselves from the opening interactions with them. It’s HOW you say things that affects others. Not necessarily the verbiage itself.
This story sond like my own .even right now u keep pushing to succeed.
Great woman.
She is a tornado of a woman, she is marvelous I adore her bravery and gift of the gab
Reading everything can be a reaction to huge trauma, escacaping pain and reality.
what amazing persona, i love her.
I can see that. Now it makes sense. People that deal with trauma have a reaction. I gues this is how she dealt with hers.
I Admire this lady so so much.
Yes, you. You're probably scrolling through the comments, like I am, reading all these motivational comments. If you are reading this at night, you should get some sleep, and don't stress about everything going on in the world, or what you are going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress on your future. Just live your life, because you only get one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what other people want from you. For me, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning, get hit the gym, and cherish life for the amazing blessing that it is. I hope you do the same and have an amazing day as well!
Thanks Soooooo Much For Your Leadership...... I Am You Are We Are All Stars....
I adore this great lady. We need this woman back in our lives.
There will always be beautiful people sent by GOD.Your neighbour may be one of them,!
Why? We have Nene Leakes.😭😭😭😭😭
Years ago i stood up and repeated your Poem in Interborough Inst. College oh earthly knowledge see I Rise
The deep connection I have with this woman ❤️
I 💕 her MSG
What A Great Woman.❤💪🏾
I miss her😭
One day, I’ll die, I’ll try. I’ve nothing to lose. I don’t want to live a life I don’t want to live. No one can trap me.
She was a very generous woman in the year 1928-2014 when she died May her soul rest in perfect peace Amen 🙏🙏.
How are you beautiful lady?
Just woah. Proud doesn’t even begin to express her legacy that she passed down to me, and she didn’t even know me! 👌🏽
💕the WISDOM of MAYA ANGEL(OU). Greatly Missed....💕TUPAC SHAKUR
You are for ever miss life will never for get you you're always inspiring even from heaven.
God Bless the people who have only a few struggles in life. But for the rest of us, We know why the caged bird sings and that is a earned a painful gift, cause we can find joy in hopeless places. Love this amazing poet one of God's True Ladies. Rest in Love and thank you. x
