A Very Powerful Statement

Maya Angelou said when she was 22 with a 5 year old son, working two jobs and renting out two rooms with cooking priviledges; her mother told her that she thought she was the greatest women in the world.

Maya said as she walked home and got to the corner she started to ask and say to herself; "what if I am going to be somebody", "if I'm going to be somebody I better stop cursing and get myself together". She said at that moment her life was changed; she felt liberated.

Maya says mothers have the ability to liberate their children with love.

I think that is a very powerful story and message. Just wanted to share that with all of you.
