A dancer, a singer, a writer, a teacher, a poet, an activist…a phenomenal woman!  A life force to be reckoned with and above all, a legacy to be remembered.

“A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped
and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.”

– Maya Angelou – from her book of poems “Caged Bird”
1928 – 2014   A truly phenomenal woman…
