Imagine Maya Angelou





I have just watched BBC 1 "Imagine .. Maya Angelou - Still I rise". Maya was an actress, poet, activist and a writer. She was a true artist and I hadn't realised how many famous and influential people she knew.

She was a phenomenal woman. Watch this programme - you wont regret it.

    Hey Amanda, I'm definitely going to watch this on BBC iPlayer when I finish my morning shift today. Sounds like an inspirational watch and something that might give me some life theory ideas.

    Amanda - just wanted to say thanks for recommending this! I have just finished watching it and I find Ms. Angelou to be an inspiration to all women who wish to further their intelligence, both creatively and academically. I have started scriptwriting myself after being a fan of creative writing for years. It was brilliant to hear how diverse her career was- and that we have the power to be actors AND writers alike.
    Compelling life story and evidently she touched the lives of many - and now mine, as a young female starting out in my creative career

      Yes she definitely was multi-talented though she is mostly known for her writing. The play "The Blacks" Jean Genet (Theatre of the Absurd) sounded fascinating and worth-looking up I think.

    Why does the caged bird sing? - yes I have her on my twitter - good discussion Eleanor - I think being a fan is at the heart of creative inspiration
