Hello to all of
my loyal Stars On The Rise followers I hope you are all having a fun and
exciting weekend after a long and stressful workweek. Today I am bringing you
another very special post from the normal Artist of The Week post. This weeks
post is to celebrate and remember a person that the world lost earlier this
week Dr. Maya Angelou.
She was a woman
that I admired and grew up looking up to. Dr. Maya Angelou was a very talent
and strong female who really showed that there is no limit to what you can do
and achieve in life when you but in the hard work and determination. Dr. Maya
Angelou was a woman who wore many hats by being an accomplished author, actress
and poet. One of my favorite books I Know Why The Cage Bird Sings is still one of my
favorites that I enjoy reading to this day. I can also remembering having to
recite her poem Still I Rise for a school program in elementary school. Dr.
Maya Angelou has achieved so much in her time in the spotlight. Dr. Angelou has
served on two presidential committees, was awarded the Presidential Medal of
Arts in 2000, the Lincoln Medal in 2008, and has received 3 Grammy Awards. Dr. Maya Angelou has also received over 50
honorary degrees and is Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest
University. Like so many people around the world I was saddened by the new of
Dr. Maya Angelou’s passing. She might have left this earth but her achievement
and legacy will always live on. Dr. Maya Angelou was a great example of making
your time on this plant count and stand for something. If her death has taught
us anything make your time on earth count and leave a mark that you can be
proud of. Dr. Maya Angelou you will truly be missed. Remember you can follow me
