Maya Angelou
Though her life as a child and teenager was dark and difficult, Maya 
Angelou emerged to become a world-renowned writer as well as a 
poet, dancer, singer, songwriter, film director, and activist.
*
Maya Angelou has a straightforward philosophy of life: “If you don’t like something, 
change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
You can see the results of that thinking in the remarkable path of her life, which has taken 
her from a childhood of abuse and broken homes, through teenage years marked by 
prostitution and crime, to her current life as one of the most respected writers in the 
world.
Maya Angelou was almost lost for good during the early, dark times of her life. She was 
sexually abused by her mother’s boyfriend at age eight and although she had the courage 
to speak out, her attacker served only one day in jail. He was later found murdered, and 
Maya suspected her own family had killed the man. The young girl blamed the power of 
her voice for ending a life, and refused to speak for nearly five years!
This and other tragedies left Angelou a frightened and bitter young woman. She might 
have sunk into a desperate life of crime for good if it were not for one person - a teacher 
who introduced her to great books.
Angelou devoured Shakespeare, Dickens, and other classic authors’ works, and 
discovered a love of language and ideas. It renewed her faith in herself and the world, and 
set her on the path to making the most of her life. She determined to improve the world 


around her, and to improve herself along the way.
With her strong will and work ethic, Maya Angelou succeeded everywhere - touring the 
world as a dancer, starring on Broadway as a singer, editing newspapers and magazines, 
writing songs and composing scores for movies, being nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for 
her poetry, and becoming the first black woman in the United States to have a screenplay 
produced and to direct a major film.
Maya Angelou is also a bestselling author. Her autobiographical books, including I Know 
Why the Caged Bird Sings, have won critical acclaim around the world.
Along the way, Angelou has lived up to her philosophy of trying to bring about positive 
change in the world. She played a major role in the civil rights movement in the United 
States, and has dedicated much of her life to fighting racism through education and 
political involvement.
Maya Angelou changed her attitude as a teenager, and she has since changed the world.
