When Maya repeatedly said God loves me and cried. It struck me so hard. I'm going through a lot and on a healing journey. I'm grateful that God loves me and is always there for me 🙏

[@lynnorabennett8509]

Oprah very slick using Maya bucuz she got backlash from her statement "there is many ways to get to GOD". OPRAH Could not explain her comment when she was asked by Christian folk to explain her self. Look at her here when Maya explains so eloquently..

You’ve never heard anyone talk with such intelligence? Did you go to college? If so, did you major in a STEM program or some liberal arts bs? As far as humility, Maya is not a person that expresses humility. Far from it. Her pomposity is legendary. Demanding others address her as “Dr. Angelou” is absurd. She was “awarded” a fake doctorate by an attention-seeking university. You know who else has a “doctorate” degree just like hers? Kermit the Frog. Seriously. Look it up if you don’t believe me. Maya never even went to college. She hasn’t even earned the privilege to use B.S. as a credential. Humility-that is a characteristic Maya definitely does not possess.

That's right, we need to fight! But we can't do it alone. When I leaned on Jesus to heal my heart he really did. We need to pray and ask and ask and ask constantly for Him to heal our broken heart and to mend our broken mind. It's been a long road and every once in a while I will think about it and cry and I think that's pretty normal after what we've been thru but now I'm able to cut it short and ask God to hold my hand and heal me. And it's a constant battle but it does get better. I thank God Jesus Christ in heaven for being so powerful and teaching me real love. ❤ Hang in there sister 💪🏼❤

Why can’t we have her teachings in class? Why can’t we have mandatory teachings regarding moral’s, life coaching and just vital training and knowledge in school to prepare these generations for life but also to make the world a better place. Because let’s face it, the life coaching wisdom’s and inspirations like our grandmother’s and grandpa’s of our generation are no more, not like they used to be that’s for sure. And I know people will say, “Well, you’re ideally supposed to receive that at home from your family.” True, and that was possible at one point. But clearly by seeing the actions, cries, destructive behaviors and violence, it’s not being taught.” And it’s wreaking havoc on the world.

I love how Vivian Baxter was a great mom and I can also see that she missed Maya a lot since she wasn’t around most of her childhood so she was doing her best to be the best mother after finally getting her daughter back in her teenage years. Love how this turned out. 🤍

Loved her and so needed to hear this today! She reminds me so much of my grandmother 💞 who I know is walking with me every second of every day! I walk alone but I stand as 10,000!!! 🙌🏾

I’m really grateful for hearing this message that touched my heart so much. For so long I didn’t like black people. They just seemed so mean. My dad sat me down and had me research my ancestors about 15 years ago. Just a month ago I began to learn how to love me. I’m still learning. I’m grateful for the awareness. Gratitude I been learning how to love and take care of everyone. I forgot me. Today I sit in the mountain sitting listening to you both and hearing maya how her mom just loved her. This touched my heart to love me and love my children in such a way of not judging them anymore.

One of the wisest teachers of our generation. I miss Maya dearly, yet she continues to inspire me. I've dedication several of my poetry book collections to her legacy. "Forever Maya."
