Maya Angelou was more than a celebrated poet and author. She was a powerful voice on courage, identity, resilience and the journey of becoming comfortable with who you are. Born in 1928, Angelou lived through periods of profound hardship, discrimination and social change, drawing from her experiences to create work that continues to inspire generations.
Her writing often explored survival, self-discovery and the strength that comes from overcoming adversity. That is why her words continue to resonate, particularly with young people trying to understand themselves and navigate an increasingly demanding world.
