Fun fact: When I was 16 I used to mail Maya Angelou my poems, and call her work phone and leave messages because all her info was in the phone book. True story.
“There is nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic, because it means the person has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.”
Maya Angelou, who would've been 90 today, on courage and facing evil https://t.co/1R7nCGijpJ
Maya Angelou, the original #PhenomenalWoman, would’ve been 90 years-old today. Not only was she an iconic poet & author, she also was a civil rights leader. In this urgent moment let’s remember what she taught us: phenomenal black women will be seen & heard and #wewillrise.
Maya Angelou, #BornOnThisDay, did not shy away from speaking up for what she believed in. Let's echo her words today & every day to achieve a more a gender-equal world.

Maya Angelou has been a constant inspiration and guiding influence in my life. Today, on her birthday, I’m honoring her words and her courage: "Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.”
"The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.”
– Maya Angelou
Sorry, but if you threw anything at that coach you are a bad meff and don’t represent me as a Liverpool fan. You’re lucky to be there and you act like a prick #LIVMCY
