I think of Maya Angelou as the world's fairy Godmother! She is everything to me. A special gift God gave to the world. My oh my...rest in paradise my queen🙏
She had every reason to hate. But chose to love. And love she did!!She changed a 63-year-old white man’s life. Mine.

Thank you ThamesTv for posting this. I love and admire Dr. Angelou. I feel cheated never having known her personally. I watch videos of her over and over again because I want to be better and do better. Thank you Ms. Nicholson for the interview.
This interviewer was digging for something, she seemed perplexed about Maya’s self love 💕

Maya and Mavis were very good friends, and Mavis was one of Maya’s favourite interviewers because she asked the questions that challenged.
I love her voice.
I am reading right now, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." It is not just about Ms. Angelou's hardships, there is a lot of comedic wit, beauty, and love in there as well.

I love you so much Dr. Maya. You touch me from deep within beyond words. May your sweet soul rest in peace.
"When society pushes you back, you should put yourself forward." She's brilliant. The thing about American journalists, ask about the same thing over and over and over.... about the molestation incident.

Oh I just love listening to Maya Angelou, it almost seem as if I know her. I could listen to her daily. There is always a gem 💎. She’s helped me so much
I’m convinced Dr. Angelou was a prophet.
The level of transparency she got to is inspirational. 👍

I once met Mavis in the village where she lived in North Powys. She was lovely her book about her relationship with her grandmother was adorable. Jxxx ❤️
This is such a beautiful interview. Thanks for the post!!!
I'm quite sure that Colin gets to often say, "Look at my Grandma, she's a brilliant & iconic woman. I'm so proud of her!"
I love May Angelous voice and her books. xoxoxoxox
Love her and the Queen that interviewed a legendary #Queen 🤝👸🏽👸🏻☮️💕🙏🏽🦾🦾😇🌎✨💝
It seems to me in this interview she is trying to find if she ever had a breaking point in her life or why was she so strong and complete
She's always been my mother in my head.
She's fantastic
I could listen to her speak forever, I wasn't ready for it to cut off like that. Is there more to this interview, I'd love to see it.
@5;40 is "when you know better you do better". Maya.

I didn’t understand that huge burst of radiant emotions when she talked about her son, then one month later I finished my reading of I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. That dull environment of her childhood memories in Stamp, she’s surrounded by warm family members in a hostile white-dominated society, her juvenile, extremely innocent mind(that mindset lasted the whole book despite in the end of the book she was pregnant by a confused, love looking journey. I interpret that as her life was too plain for her advanced mind, she’s trying to figure out her boundary even she’s still a child herself). Her stubbornness kept her trying to absorb wit from a totally strange world. Her loneliness, partly caused by the separation from her parents. Her optimism, she told herself that “see, my life is as adventurous as anyone else. Her rebellion, after defending her mother against Dolores, she ran away and survived in big city alone a whole month. As a child, she didn’t even trying to hold grudge of all those shit happened to her, that deep religious belief that she convinced herself, “I’m good, I’ll continue trying to be good, because I’m loved by God, as a result that mighty existence will protect me against all the true evil in my life. Again, as a child, she didn’t do things to recover from trauma, she didn’t know how. Finally, the impact, or I would prefer to say that a hole, of those big and small mental cuts from Mr. Freeman, his death, Dolores, the ignorance of arrogance white, the ignorance of her people, the hole created by unpleasant experiences filled by the maternal nature as a woman.
Love this❤
I'm so glad that Dr. Maya Angelo had the faith to believe that she would get her grandson back 🔙 and she did. Power of FAITH.
What a woman!
❤️
In for a penny, in for a pound. I love that!!!
This Beautiful Rainbow 🌈 is my role model , now I can say I have one truly ❤ beautiful woman 👩 a Queen 👸 ❤ ♥
I love her
That lesbian story was such an eye opener, honestly..
The child wasnt missing, he was with his mother. The same agony they felt she felt.
I'm a woman I'm no play thing. ❤💖
a literary giant

*i idolize My MOTHER...my dOg..not some film or popstar...if maya were alive, she´d agree with me..Ricky*
interesting how obvious the frequency is is 2021 this frequency is so loud
It's amazing that because of her articulation of words, we can't hear an accent of any kind.
I love her respect her and admire her, yet I never met her personally. But you can asked me anything about her. And I will probably open up to you
Ppl from Leys, please help I don’t have clue abt dis🤦🏽♂️

When you are inadvertently great at such a young age and your goal is to keep growing that's what the world will see. You see her that way because of how we revere her. At least, that's what I get from your comment. Update: Never mind, I see what you did there.

Yes exactly. I never got her because I had only know the Oprah Maya which was so grandiose and puffed up. But in her younger day she was so human, accessible and down to earth and interesting.

Maya was always accessible and grandiose at the same time. She was never attainable however, she was MAYA freaking ANGELOU.
I DO NOT like this interviewer!
