Maya Angelou overcame socio-economic challenges, racial discrimination, and the trauma of experiencing childhood sexual abuse. She also faced sexism in the male-dominated fields of literature and civil rights activism, yet she emerged as a prominent voice for African American women and a globally acclaimed author and poet.
She spent 6 of her years not speaking because she got raped, she was traumatized and basically going through it in her head of deep thoughts.. A blessing in disguise I say, in result of her experience, she let those thoughts bleed on paper and the people listened. Many women especially because they may relate. People look up to, adore, the iconic legendary Ms. Angelou. But being a poet is what most people know her for, she has contributed much more to the world.
