Profile of Dr. Maya Angelou-- one of my living heroes

[MeLisa Turcott Strongheart]

"Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency." Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou is a person who has overcome great obstacles, kept a vision for her life, and for what she can give and achieve. She has inspired me to be a better teacher, as she stands as one of the truly great ones.

She practices her art, and continues to produce her creative works even as she has moved into her 8th decade of life.

She teaches compassion, tolerance, and respect; she lives
compassion, tolerance, and respect.

Her message delivered with a voice of love, non violence, and strength.
