I don’t need to tell anyone Maya Angelou is awesome. 
This collection of poems was short, but poignant. 
I loved “Still I Rise” for the confidence, perseverance, and tenacity it describes. 
I loved “Our Grandmothers” for the history, the emotion, and the empathy it evokes. 
Beautiful writing. 

⭐️ Favorite Quotes ⭐️
“Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?”
  • “Still I Rise”

“Centered on the world’s stage, 
she sings to her loves and beloveds,
to her foes and detractors: 
However I am perceived and deceived, 
however my ignorance and conceits,
lay aside your fears that I will be undone,

for I shall not be moved.”
  • “Our Grandmothers”
