In addition to her well-known autobiographies, Maya Angelou has steadily written poetry over the years. In this video Professor Angelou recites her poem, “And Still I Rise,” from her volume of poetry And Still I Rise, published in 1978. I offer this as our poem of the week.
Is there something in your life that you need to rise above in order to live your best life? What are you a “slave” to? Perhaps a negative attitude or a negative belief in yourself? Who or what inspires you to keep going despite these obstacles?
P.S. If for some reason you can’t view the video go here.
