I woke up to a text that Maya Angelou left us today at age 86. I remember my first time hearing of her. I was probably about 12 or 13 when I found a book of poems in my grandmother's spare room. I remember reading Phenomenal Woman and falling in love with it. I had never read something so real; I could feel her self-love and confidence in every stanza.
Here's to Dr. Maya Angelou, a woman who wore many, many hats... gracefully.
