I had to take some time with this Angelou autobiography, because there were some triggering topics 🥲 The content warnings will be included below!
Maya Angelou really has lived a life. In this part of the collection, we meet some incredible icons (e.g. James Baldwin, Billie Holiday, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X)! 😳 We also get more of an understanding of Guy’s mind and his undying love for his mum 🥹
Although I love Angelou’s writing, this book was tricky to read in parts. Someone wrote that they felt she was being ‘aloof’ which was a great way to describe it. 3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
