WOMAN OF THE MONTH
Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was a writer, poet, and speaker who used her voice to inspire the world.
As a young girl, she went through difficult experiences that caused her to stop speaking for years.
But during that silence, she discovered something powerful—her love for words.
She found her voice again… and when she did, she used it to uplift, teach, and empower millions.
What She Overcame
- Childhood trauma
- Losing her voice (literally choosing silence)
- Racism and discrimination
And still… she rose.
Why She Matters
Maya Angelou reminds us that
- Your voice matters
- Your story matters
- You can turn pain into power
What We Can Learn From Her
You don’t have to stay silent forever.
Your feelings are valid.
Strength can grow from hard moments.
