As each year goes by, the world parts with more and more cultural icons. This week brought about news of the death of Maya Angelou, the iconic poet and Civil Rights leader. Her death was saddening, but after living for eighty-six years, at least she could die saying she lived a full life.
Those who took the time to read the precious words of Maya Angelou have a deeper perspective of life. She shared portions of her wisdom with the world and getting access to her gift was no difficult task. A bright side to her death is knowing she will live on through the words she left to the world.
For some, there is no time like the present to read up on Maya Angelou and get a better understanding of why she is iconic. This is especially true if people are getting her confused with the singer, Mya. Recently, there was a Facebook user who made this critical mistake that Hot 96.3 shared with their Facebook followers.
