this isn't my favorite by maya angelou, but because maya angelou wrote it, it's still excellent. some of her ideas are a little dated (vulgarity, piercings, etc), but that's to be expected. i enjoyed listening to the audio a lot because maya reads it herself and she was an excellent speaker, so it's a joy to listen to her. i think there are a lot of beautiful ideas in here and anyone who reads it will probably find something to take away from it.

It felt like a hug to read, especially the poem about graduation (being in my final year). She is so inspiring and clever and a beautiful soul. She is everything I want to be and I will re-read this book forever.
Nov 2024: reread. In a bit of a rut and this gave me a lot of comfort ♥️
