I've collected some weird vintage bird imagery, from bird hats to bird people, ghost birds to giant birds.

Maya Angelou by Allison Adams

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”

Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was an author, a poet, actor, and a Civil Right’s Activist. With a career that spans over 50 years, she published many acclaimed works and received over 50 honorary degrees and had over 30 medical facilities named after her. She also wrote the first script by a black woman to be made into a Hollywood film. Her autobiographical book, I know Why the Caged Bird Sings is one of the most influential American books of the last century and is widely studied in high schools and colleges to this day.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelous 5/5 ⭐️

I’ve been meaning to read this memoir for a long time and I really loved it! Angelou beautifully retells her childhood growing up with her powerful grandmother who owned a store which happened to be the community hangout in Stamps, Arkansas. She takes the reader through her personal experiences with the inevitable process of growing up and leaving childhood - both the good and bad moments of her upbringing are told with detail and endearing storytelling. Getting a glimpse of the moments that created the woman and author known as Maya Angelou is a worthwhile read.

Currently Listening: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

Wow. I started listening to this yesterday on my commute to work, and when I was listening this morning, it got really tough. Especially since it is read by the author.

“As I ate she began the first of what we later called my ‘lessons in living.’ She said that I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and even more intelligent than college professors. She encouraged me to listen carefully to what country people called mother wit. That in those homely sayings was couched the collective wisdom of generations.”

People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.

I love books whose titles are a saga on its own, which already tell you a story before you read their content.

My obsession with pineapples nearly drove me mad. I dreamt of the days when I would be grown and able to buy a whole carton for myself alone.
