Today in Black Excellence: Maya Angelou—a literature titan whose 1969 memoir was the first nonfiction bestseller by an African American woman.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” —Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
What was the early life of Maya Angelou?
She became a celebrated writer and Black icon, but it came from a childhood of tragedy. Born on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri, Angelou was quickly exposed to racism as a child. Her parents split when she was young, and while visiting her mother, aged eight, she was raped by her mother’s boyfriend: her uncles killed the boyfriend in revenge. These horrors left Angelou mute for five years, as she discussed in an interview with Oprah, a close friend. At age 16, she gave birth and was forced to work grueling jobs to support her son—including fry cook, sex worker, and nightclub performer.
She recounted her traumas to close friend James Baldwin—fellow writer and Black icon. He challenged Angelou to write about her experiences, and she published the wildly successful memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. It catapulted Angelou to international stardom and was nominated for a National Book Award in 1970. It remained on The New York Times’ paperback nonfiction bestseller list for two years—the longest record in history.
What made her such a Black icon?
Angelou was a close friend of Martin Luther King Jr., who was assassinated on her birthday in 1968. Angelou stopped celebrating her birthday for years afterward. In 1964, Angelou helped another activist friend Malcolm X in founding the Organization of Afro-American Unity.
Spanning over 50 years, she published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, books of poetry, and plays. Her 1971 poetry collection, Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water ’Fore I Die, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Because of her tireless work in literature and political activism, Angelou became widely respected as a spokesperson for the Black experience, particularly of women. You can even find her legacy in your pocket—she recently became the first black woman to appear on a US quarter.
Original portrait by Tumblr Creatr @inuqo
"I was filled with such deep gratitude while working on this illustration of Maya Angelou. Her talent, creativity, strength, power and resilience is inspiring to us all and I wanted to display how beautiful her Universe was. How important her words and life's journey was because it showed us that no matter how hard we fall, still we can rise".”

Artist Spotlight: Laura June Kirsch
Laura has had a love for photography since the age of five. She has been active on Tumblr for twelve years now and has captured many raw moments for us at multiple events throughout those years. She’s been working on a book for over a decade, and the time has finally come to release it into the world! We checked in with Laura to tell us about her book, advice she has for young photographers, and her love for Tumblr. Check it out.
When did you realize that photography was something you wanted to do professionally?
I’ve always loved photography; it is a passion of mine. I’ve been shooting since age five and majored in photography at SVA. The plan was to work in music, but when I graduated, the recession hit, and getting a job was tough. I did not get one full-time job I applied for! As social media boomed, more photographers and content were needed, and I naturally started getting hired for these jobs. I didn’t think I could get work as a photographer—it was a happy accident that it worked out as my career.

You can call me CRAZY... 
My Soul craves the unknown
Far far away not shown...
Stars connected .. Galaxy Bound.
But yet I am back on this Earth ground.
My Soul craves the unknown..
Cruising in my space Jet pack .. through instellar zones.
Eye Am not alone....
My Soul craves the unknown
Who made this decision to bring me back?? I need to check my Akashic Records to keep me in track.
My Soul Craves the unknown
Energy flowing in my conscious state. My higher self yelling stay awake!!!!
My Soul craves the unknown
Cosmos calling me to come back.
Do I really need to stay here??
Life path 7 mission is complete?
The multiverse has enough Vessels need to beat.... Heart to Heart
Running through my veins
On this earth plane I remain insane.
My Soul craves the unknown
Need that magical Glow....
Starseed hidden in mans Ego
My Soul craves the Unknown
Do you get that now?
Galaxies upon Galaxies No man found.
