Her voice is pure silk. Undeniably captivating

THE LOVELY WORDS OF THE LATE MAYA ANGELOU, WHO WROTE: “MY MISSION IN LIFE IS NOT MERELY TO SURVIVE, BUT TO THRIVE; AND TO DO SO WITH SOME PASSION, SOME COMPASSION, SOME HUMOR, AND SOME STYLE.”

all her advice in any thing is like food to my heart and soul

I had a friend, Virginia Tremble who was my surrogate mother. I would get lost in my talks with her down at the church. Every time I listen to Dr Angelou it is like I am talking with Virginia. She became suddenly ill with cancer and passed quickly. My pastor went to see her and he said she looked so poorly. He asked her how she felt and she simply said " Pastor, it is well with my soul". She passed soon afterward. I miss her much.

I love this woman she makes me feel better and better every time I listen to her

Maya was an incredible human being

I'm also her daughter, I claimed her many years ago I've never met her physically but I always go to her for ground advice whenever I'm confused Because of that , I'm her daughter too!!! Continue to rest in power mama Angelou❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Proud to be one of those daughters... Dr. Angelou inspires me everyday... Her words, the way she uses them, burrows deep.

My grandmother Cora was exactly like that. She never diminished me. She loved me, she defined me. By example she was love and I am love just like her😍

She's one of the people I'd most like to have a conversation with. She's so wise and full of wisdom.

She was the Definition Of A Phenomenal Woman! Thank You Ms. Angelou you was Heaven Scent!

I have so much respect for Ms. Angelou.

SHE IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL 💗💗 like wow .. her soul just shines through .

I love her soo much, she left a great legacy,RIP Maya

Every mother of a duaghter should hear this!!!

In my entire life I have never heard any person state what I have always felt and that is that no person should believe that their entire life or reason for existence revolves around their children. Thank you Maya for sharing this with the world. I have watched so many women waste away because once her child rearing duties are over she doesn't feel that she has any value.

It’s 2020 and this woman’s words still touch my soul.

what a blessing it is to hear you speak maya angelou

Still Learning so much from this incredible Woman. Thank you!!! 💋

What a powerful truth seeker; I love her wisdom!!!

One thing we have in common was that our Grandmother's really loved us. There is something special and different about a Granny's love!

Shes was and will always be a treasure!

I was blessed with her friendship

Dr. Angelou -- Always smiling. Always radiating natural poise and immeasurable grace! Gotta adore this deity.🙏🏼

Dr. Angelou lights up a whole room. What a wonderful human being she was. RIP Maya

No one has ever made me felt so better than her. I wish I could ever start loving myself. So much to learn from you.

Thankyou ...... Rest in peace Maya

These are the true Elders of wisdom. As an Elder it is such a blessing to be able to share my life experiences to help the youth.

Such a vibrant light. Dr Maya Angelou, I love you and I thank you.

I absolutely love the way this interviewer lets Doctor Maya Angelou speak! I have seen interviewers who don't do such a good job with this genius. However this interviewer is excellent.

what a blessing.. I pray to be a good parent

I wish she was my mother. I would listen to her all the time and just hug her and love her!

Every word she says is poetic and lovely ♥️

I love this woman!

"Being male is important. But no more important than being female"

The world is a much better place because her transparency was so honest, that she was a blessing, to everyone who heard he voice and now we can read her books and listen to segments like this. Maya Thank you for your contribution to society. Blessings to your Son, family and friends and especially your daughters by adoption 👏 🌹🙏

Love this lady such a kind interesting woman ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Dr. Angelo was "Gods" earthly angel with "words". We have lost the best of our times. Read the "Cage Bird Sing" and come to know me.

I look back at me n mothers relationship and also think of how I can be as a great mother.. Real, positive and liberated for our child or children. I welcome the blessing to be in great position

To sit in her presence was to feel her. , yes I was her daughter ‘ I know why the caged bird sings. ‘ Dr Maya Angelou’s was an example of a life lived with grace , honesty , courage , and the greatest wisdom . Dearly loved .💜🙏🏾👑💎🎓📖✍🏾

She is a vessel of hope for me and I hope for many in this broken world. She is so inspirational and loving after all she went through in life.

I can listen to her wisdom all day long !

'Dr. Maya Angelou - Love Liberates' watch this video of the immortal lady. A message of Love and peace to the whole world. Love does liberates...

I love this woman so much! I’m wish she could have been my mother. Her words reaches the depths of my soul.

Brilliance....God Bless her....We are blessed to have had her....

Her laugh gives me life

What a Blessing this Woman was!!! ❤️ Loved her Wisdom, that the Lord Truly Blessed her with!!

Wisdom - Grace - and Love- Ms. Maya

This lady said i love my son, im not in love with my son, and proceeded to explain that both men and woman are important, such a simple concept yet so important for many to hear

Yes you have daughters I'm proud to proclaim I am one

I just love Sister Angelou

Oh Maya, Sweet Maya.

This is how you live long, by having sense of humour that no one have.

I smiled when he asked for his son's opinion on spending the 46$ 😊 *sweet

She no longer belongs to us. She belongs to the ages..

I have blessed to have heard those woman’s voice at such a young age and her call to be a writer. Although my birth mother may have not truly understood her purpose in liberation Mother Maya reminded me that I too can liberate me. So I have freed my self and my mother and take peace knowing that there are many she called her daughter and I was one of many. Love liberates! Our mother Maya is so blessed to truly be free.

I. Love your. Wisdom.❤

I Just love Her..!**💜

She is an awesome lady.

She's so blessed to have a mother so strong and loving. My mother would never have a clue how to not denigrate and minimize her kids. Well, except Elaine - she lets her slide on account of fearing her unstable side. I could never tell my parents how my husband has harmed me repeatedly since I've moved here. And at the same time I don't dare want to move back.

6:20... Maya talks about periods and the curse of a period... I remember that I learned recently from a couple different sources: research, blogs, documentaries, people speaking from experience on social media, etc. that indigenous peoples had and some continue to have ceremonies and celebrations and traditions about a woman’s time on her period, it’s not viewed as bad or annoying, but it’s sacred and often the men they take care of of these women while they have cedar baths/soak in water/ or other ceremonies because it is sacred, and women are sacred because we give life. I think about this when I’m suffering and in pain once a month while on my period.... I just wish I had more connections to what my ancestors did.... but somehow much is lost but I am grateful people are trying to keep it alive. I am grateful for mothers like Maya Angelou.

I love it!! Where's the whole interview!? Please!?

I wish you were still alive when my parents dumped me....and wandering how it feels like to have a conversation with you, to be hugged by you and now, I just listen to your audio book because your voice simply gives me a feeling of comfort and loneliness is gone. Thank you for the inspiration and the legacy you left is really remarkable. I just wish I had known you earlier.

Thank you for sharing her wisdom.

Amazing lady. RIP

Love this Lady

Named my daughter after you.. Continue resting easy...🌹

such an angel.

Amazingly inspiring and blessed lady.

I love that her mother never embarrassed her. My mother was consoling when I had my oldest daughter at 18. In some aspect she was more of a mother to my daughter, caring for her while I worked and went to school. My mom worked at night so I'd be home in the evenings but when she was off at night she still took over at times, being more concerned for my state of rest than her own. Being a mom for me was all hair bows and tutus until my daughter reached 13; then I haven't a clue. She's 20 now and I still have no clue how or what it means to be a mother to her because my maturity is still only 18 years older than her. But by the grace of Almighty God we press on. My 11 year old definitely gets the better of motherhood out of me simply because of the gap in maturity so I am purposed of God to write poetry that Inspires teens and young adults to embrace the God given virtue and purity of sexual abstinence until marriage. Still recovering from the effects of an abusive relationship turned marriage, I simply don't want other young women and girls to suffer what I've gone through. And if I can help one person avoid those pit falls I'll simply say all glory to God for such was not in vain. Elementsofvirtuecollection.wordpress.com Poetry & Songs of Inspiration "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies." (Proverbs 31:10)

Thank you very much for the encouragement my Maya Angelou

What a transcendent woman

A mother that never reduced or denigrated you in public/to others, wonder what that's like?

I love her!!! Amen!!! About raising our sons!!! Praise be to God. I don't know how I knew that either!! Lmao my mom won't talk about periods. My grandmother's generation definitely not. I had to get through that and being a young mother by my self. Payback I guess. Dr Angelou has inspired me to write!! God bless her in heaven!!!! She was so authentically real!!! What a blessing indeed!!!

How beautiful is claiming every woman to be your daughter.
