Dora's Corner: Rest In Peace (#RIPMaya): Remembering A Legend--Maya Angelou.
...#RIPMaya "A lyrical person was she!"
Seldom does a person make such a positive impact on our lives these days! Seldom does anyone provoke others to justly stand up for the good of the masses; to oppose oppression against any one person, cause, or organization. Maya Angelou was just that kind of person who inspired and incited all of these wonderful things within us all. Her words (written or verbal) were beautiful, eloquent; always pertinent and relative to issues that plagued our world.
She was a rare gem in this jaded world of ours. She was one of my heroes.
She always encouraged others (especially women) to stand up and fight for themselves. However, she always stood ready to defend those whom needed representation regardless of gender, race, national origin, creed, religion, age, marital status, class, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or disability.
I admired her tenacity and her ability to not just tolerate others, but to accept us all as her equal. Never a negative word was said or written, by Maya, of another. If you had a negative remark to make about someone, she kindly reminded you to be mindful; those who could not were not welcome in her home. Maya did this because she firmly believed that the degrading of another person was the complete opposite of being a good person. Oh, how I especially admired her for taking that stance. Expletives and name-calling were not allowed in her home; though-out the years, it is not tolerated in mine.
