  • The legendary author talks to TODAY's Jenna Bush Hager about her new memoir, "Mom and Me and Mom," which candidly recounts her relationship with her mother, saying she knew what motherhood truly meant only when she had her own son.

    She was a special magical being. I had the privilege of meeting her and interviewing her for my college paper. They say to never meet your heroes, in this case, "they" were wrong. She surpassed all my expectations. I just can't say enough about the experience.

    Why do people type in or view something just to leave negative comments. SMH Dr. Maya Angelou.

      Terrance Saunders They are IGNORANT their bloodlines are scared with lack of intelligence, no self esteem, no education, and prejudice! In SIMPLE TERMS FOR THEM(USELESS) LOSERS.....SMH 😊

      Terrance Saunders Because they either have way too much time on their hands, they're foolish, ignorant, mildly to moderately mentally challenged, they simply can't stand the fact that someone is far wiser, highly reputable & respected, who always has & who will always be held in very high regards, & who also just so happens to be world-renowned not only for her intellect, her infinite wisdom, her works, etc; but most importantly, bc of the mark that she has forever left on this world ~ both in life & in death o/c. It could only be 1 or more of the reasons I listed above or it might very well be a combination of all of the possible reasons that I chose to mention. There can't be any other logical, sensible, reasonable explanation as to why any one of these degenerate idiots would watch, listen to her speak, or even contemplate posting anything about Dr. Angelou that's negative, disrespectful, and/or derogatory in nature. Case Closed. #stayawayfromfools #foryouwontfind

      That's because the camera was on her, but for a short while.

    You tell me this: [PS/ if you have nothing useful or constructive to say even though you utterly disagree with the opinion(s) of someone else here on the tube SAY NOTHING TO THEM AT ALL! OKAY?] After what you posted about the great Maya Angelou. You call what you posted useful or constructive??? Rita Dove is ALSO a wonderful poet/writer. If you can't say something useful or constructive say nothing at all.

    @Kyle Hambleton No, I am NOT joking....RIGHT! There is nothing "legendary" about the awful "poetry" of Ms. Angelou.... thank you... and stop sending me half hearted queries if you cannot read the English language!

    She's not a doctor. Please.

      Marcia Brady, you are not smart enough to proclaim whether she is a doctor or not.

    • @BizzyTren
      @BizzyTren Před 10 lety +9

      Marcia Brady, what does truth, lie, being a doctor have to do with Maya Angelou being a doctor. To use the term "A**hole" suggest that your own limited vocabulary places you in a very low vibrational status. Try going through what she has been through then maybe you can earn your own "doctor" status by using better choices of words to express yourself as she so eloquently does .

    • @marciabrady147
      @marciabrady147 Před 10 lety

      SI GIL
      Do you proofread your nonsensical gibberish? Being a victim does not make one a doctor, silly. And using eloquent words, at times, never dimished her status as a racist, anti-Semite, pretend Christian and false teacher. As for the term a*shole, it's just so fitting. Would you prefer "Miss A*shole" instead?

    • @BizzyTren
      @BizzyTren Před 10 lety +12

      To keep things real simple, you seem like an angry little nut case. C-ya RIP Maya Angelou I'll forever respect your warm sometimes misunderstood heart.

      SI GIL "angry little nut case" "your own limited vocabulary places you in a very low vibrational status" hahaha You're not just a fruit, you're a hypocritical fruit. Did you learn that crap from Maya?
