Maya Angelou
Introduction
Attention Getter :
“Now you understand, just why my head's not bowed. I
don't shout or jump about or have to talk real loud. When you see
me passing, it ought to make you proud. I say, it’s in the click of my
heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need of my
care, cause I'm a woman phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s
me. One of the most inspirational lines from Maya Angelou’s poem
“Phenomenal woman.” Maya Angelou inspired many people by her
life, wisdom and words. She didn’t let her childhood troubles or life
deter her from becoming successful and become an inspiration to
billions of people.
Credibility
Since I was younger, I’ve always been fascinated with
poetry. I came across Maya Angelou’s poetry when I was only ten-
years old. While researching Maya Angelou’s life, I realized that we
had a lot in common. I had a troubled childhood just like she did.
