World-renowned poet, author and civil rights activist Dr. Maya Angelou passed away this morning (May 28th) at the age of 86. She was found by her caretaker. Although no further details have been released yet, she had been reportedly dealing with various health issues. Just a few days ago, she tweeted, “Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.” Everything Maya Angelou has done will never be forgotten. May she rest in peace! Check out one of my favorite poems by Dr. Angelou called “Phenomenal Woman” below!
