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.

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!

"Either eat your words or stand by them." Such truth.

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."

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.

"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.

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

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.

I know right!

Truly appreciate her contributions to humanity, from trials to triumphs! What a blessing!

I loved her & felt everything about her was absolute dignity, wisdom & grace. I still miss her.

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.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZread 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.

The epitome of grace and elegance of soul.

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.

"If I can deal with the biggest bugaboo--death---I can deal with this lesser thing." I like that phrase. Phenomenal woman.

It's true, when you accept that death is inevitable, then you give life your best shot at living.

Dr. Maya Angelou is one the greatest intellectuals to ever walk the face of the earth. ✊🏼👊🏼♥️🧠💡🌍📚

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!

May your soul Rest In Peace

I went to see Maya Angelo in Portland, Or, and in a stadium full of people, I felt she was speaking directly to me. That was the kind of person she held herself to be. That is the kind of person I strive to be.

A positive reflection of life will spread love to all who hear with hope.

I find myself feeling low "LIFE" while trying to complete an assignment and when I came across this video I just had to watch it. I was just crying out to GOD about how I am feeling and this video and prayer has given me back my hope. Thank you for sharing❤

Yes every journey we go through is only intended to make us better, so we need to keep going

She was such a gift to all mankind.

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.

She was the most inspirational and knowledgeable person in my life. Her poetry resembles the gift of peace and is shared throughout humanity ❤ Reading her poetry brings out the inner beauty and understanding that you can heal in what ever endeavors come your way 🙏

What a perfect vessel.....I'm truly humbled

Maya Angelou was a sucessful author,writer, poet, activist, educator and an amazing blessing upon this earth. She put her arm around Tupac and gave him a loving response which he needed at that time.

Love her, her words live on.
