Dr. Maya Angelou passed in 2014, and a decade later, we continue to celebrate this accomplished woman who wore so many hats: civil rights activist, poet and playwright, director, composer, memoirist and storyteller, singer and dancer, professor, as well as mother and grandmother. She has been honored on a United States Quarter and a US Forever Stamp. In addition, she has been the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, three Grammies, and more than fifty honorary degrees. Her son, Guy Johnson, has noted: “My mother’s principal message was one of inclusion, that despite our ethnic, religious, and cultural differences, we are more alike than unlike. She believed that we are all images of God, no matter how we look or what name we use to call upon the Divine and Sacred Being.” All this, and more, will be explored as we look at this immensely powerful phenomenal woman.
Joni Scott holds a bachelor’s degree in religious studies from Marygrove College, and is a wife, mother, grandmother, storyteller, retreat director and a trained spiritual director. She is the former director of Religious Education at St. Charles Borromeo in Detroit.
