Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou, aged 81, was in Los Angeles to be honored at the BraveHeart Awards. BraveHeart awards is for women who choose to be inspiration in action. Maya Angelou (born Marguerite Ann Johnson on April 4, 1928) is a famous American autobiographer and poet. She was called “America’s most visible black female autobiographer” by scholar Joanne M. Braxton. Maya Angelou is best known for her series of six autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adulthood experiences. Maya Angelou’s first and probably best-known autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), focuses on the first seventeen years of her life. It brought her international recognition, and was nominated for a National Book Award. The rumors in Twitter range from she is OK ( a statement apparently made by her grandson ) to she is dead. We do not have any confirmation at this time.
We hope for the best and our prayers are with her. We will keep you updated on the latest news of Dr. Maya Angelou. Dr. Maya Angelou is a remarkable Renaissance woman who is hailed as one of the great voices of contemporary literature. As a poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer and director, she continues to travel the world, spreading her legendary wisdom. Within the rhythm of her poetry and elegance of her prose lies Angelou's unique power to help readers of every orientation span the lines of race and Angelou captivates audiences through the vigor and sheer beauty of her words and lyrics. Now come along now, no one is going to describe themselves in these terms, are they? This has to be a spoof, it's not possible that anyone, not even Maya Angelou, would put up something this gloriously over the top, is it? Contrary to a Saturday night TMZ.com report, literary giant Maya Angelou was not hospitalized while in Los Angeles, CNN reported this morning.
