Inspired Words, Inspired Lives

Wise Black Nanas are shining the light on one of their favorite literary s/heroes, Dr. Maya Angelou. Powerful and positive in her approach to the realities of life, Dr. Maya has been an inspiration and motivational source for decades. Discovered by both Nanas early in life, they talk about how her award winning work and inspiring being has been a constant in their work and lives. Dr. Sharla shares an intense and raw story that illustrates the connection with one of Dr. Angelou’s most well known award winning works, “And Still I Rise.” The Nanas illustrate how connecting with literature keeps us sane, grounds us, while providing the motivation we need to keep going, even in the darkest of times.
