"Let me remind all women that we live longer and better lives when we have sisters we love, not necessarily born in our bloodline or of our race. Sisters." #MayaAngelou@Oprah 💐 Happy Birthday!
"Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.” #MayaAngelou
“If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up - lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well.”
"Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women." #MayaAngelou 🌍 Happy #InternationalWomensDay

"I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a #woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me." #MayaAngelou
💐 Happy #WomensHistoryMonth
