    I have enough courage to admit I never knew just how ignorant I was until listening to Maya Angelo speak. The great thing is it's never to late to change for the better💖

    Yes indeed Mr. Rick you was blessed. I always say I have no regrets but one regret I do have. I didn't get to hear or see her live. I had the opportunity but didn't take it.

    Watching her Spellman commencement address made me start binging Maya Angelou. I heard her speak when I was in high school. Our Black English teacher Mrs. Olasewere took our class to see her. She was amazing. I hope Black teachers are still as invested.
