Maya Angelou - A Brave and Startling Truth

[theunhingedbohemian]

Perfect.



[saffnpepa]

im against violence, have never believed in it, but every now and then there comes an ignorant little shit so far up themselves that they challenge my beliefs to the point of making me want to smack them bloody hard (robbooey). can only hope that one day they grow up.

thanks for posting this. is very thought provoking. maya angelou is one of the most honest outspoken women this world has the priviledge of hearing.

[robbooey]

she stink like an old fish

[tfchuck]

Awesome, awesome, awesome

[robbooey]

Do she Bite?

[Cmarker38751]

This is truly an amazing woman who does not see color but just human beings!!

[brighteyes1945]

She is wonderful. What an inspiration. Love powerful empathic women. Many thanks.

[alahyo]

Love this poem. Powerful and reflective of growth in perspective. Wish I could find her "Master Class" piece on here.

[emmibran]

The only criticism I have for this video is that sometimes the music over powers Maya's voice. Beyond that, this is amazing Thank you.

[ChelseasMama]

No words..Speechless..

[nscottish]

POWERFUL

[TamaraM00re]

The audio & visual affects added to her narration gave the perfect balance. This is amazing! Her words resonate more, and create a deeper impact in my mind. I feel enlightened and inspired.

[jesusluvsme12345]

Maya is a true inpiration!!!

[csludlow]

A final thought: i would LOVE to see this updated with HD. And if you pre-convert Babylon, Danube, Mount Fuji and the other4:3 prior to final transcode, you won't get the black box surrounding your video. This is in NO WAY a criticism, this work is BRILLIANT. Keep producing!

[csludlow]

I too love Maya Angelou, however, this video is about you. And you have created beautiful art that few others commenting here could ever appreciate. Thank you for sharing and continue producing!

[chocolytesprynkles]

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Amazing recitation. Yes, there is something about her voice.

Great video! thank you.

[mofodante89]

she is inspiring and motivating. I get chills when she speaks. There is something behind that voice.

I adore you Maya

[KIMM777]

[ZeNDeWiT]

My love so for Maya........may all begin their ripple of decency in the circle for love flows to one around one and back again!

[REDPANTS23]

Truly amazing in her achievements and to be the inspiration for describing simple words to ordinary people's lives.

[kcmm1111]

Thank you for this wonderful video!

[flavorliciousbtg]

I loved the video..thanks for posting it. The poetry was amazing, I'm startled by her ingenuity...her mind reaches out to such great lengths that it cups the world in its hands and makes the most miniscule subject an object of propriety. Thank you very much.

[techdeckdarkstar]

lmfao she called my house to vote for hilary clinton lmfao!!

[legorok37]

[031387072]

[MetaMorphy]

Casual space---as opposed to formal?

[mrscna]

Just simply AMAZING!

[SpiritNirvana]

Dr. Maya Angelou, your gift of wisdom transformed in such visual wonder is fuel for the soul and so inspirational...Joelle Valente-Poetic Artist.

[TinaFunk]

I love Maya! She is my role model.. my hero! Her gift of poetry gives hope that love, kindness, peace, and empathy will one day be dominant in this world! It is not just a sex issue.. or a color issue she writes about.. it is about human issues. She gives strength to the oppressed through her words, and if anyone claims they have never felt discriminated against in one way or another, they lie! Thank you for portraying her words in this beautiful and tastefully done video!

[kuriakaramela]

What a beautiful creation... The grace of paradox understanding... Wish I could put words in this sensation.

[orbis2009]

Maya! Illusion! When we come to it, we will stop killing the babies in the wombs, and accept that the abortion holocaust strikes at the very root of the sacredness of human existence, and that no one is sacred / safe in a world of legalized abortion.

[diddiejar]

Incredible

[SkylarkMelody]

This is extraordinary.

Thank you for sharing.

[MetaMorphy]

This is better than the inauguration speech.

[novembertalespinner]

Mother Maya is speaking much truth and wisdom in this piece.

[buddhalovar]

an inspiration that is boundless..

[1green1grl]

[cre8vhrt]

Amazing video for an AMAZING woman. Thank you for sharing this with us! I have had the pleasure of hearing her speak and the sound of her voice on this video brings back the deep feeling of awe when I saw her.

[chunkylover214]

this is an amazing video.

i love maya angelou, she really is a national treasure.

[JoeVialFilms]

A national treasure? As much as I'd agree with you, I'd go just a bit further as say she's a treasure of our planet and species. She is a unique voice that needs to be heard and heeded. Great video! Amazing visuals / music. And, of course, Maya.

[genious777]

I couldn't agree more Joe-, Im from Portugal and I think she is a Universal Treasure! Thanks 4 sharing !

[JoeVialFilms]

Thanks! Take care!

[veepro]

Terrific Video, set to the genius and wisdom of Maya Angelou. I would LOVE to see the original print of this program, as the low resolution here adds so much noise to its beauty. Can it be seen?

[windflower13]

Maya Angelou is my idol and inspiration and I only hope to get a glance of meeting her if not truly meet a godly woman whose devotion is not of her own wants but that for humanity and God's. I am truly glad that I was able to learn and listen to such a beautiful intelligent woman.

[akaeon]

does edited by Fame Ketover mean that there the ones who should be credited with the creation of this video?

[JeeprzCreepers56]

Maya Angelou is an amazing poet.

[JudyInCO]

Exquisite work.

[LiLammaar100]

Great Job! Thanks for sharing.

[chelilla6]

Amazing lady!!!!

[kimkg]

Mine's nowhere near as good as yours. Fantastic job!! I love Maya Angelou.

[firesonic99]

i'm gonna cry this is beautifull

[funkymama21]

This is a great video to accompany the poem. I haven't heard this one before, but it certainly is very powerful and true.

[chueewowee]

When we come to it,

gathering up the world's natural beauty

contrasting it with blame

Blame of ordinary people for hatred

when we come to it,

Grandeliquont verse in honour of the United Nations

Fails to point the finger at the United Nations

Finger at the Hidden Banker Government

Stooges fearful for their jobs and expenses

Their meddling in wars which ...

[chueewowee]

...Those same maligned people can't create

Who suffer in them with their children

And suffer poets who seek to expand themselves

And profit too from the misery.

The misery cause by the Ruling Elite.

[cassone2007]

AMAING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SiMpLyCoMfY]

Maya Angelou...phenoumenal

[Solitude15]

I just got addicted...My god, this is good.

[bigeared15]

I have 2 write a five paragraph essay in english on this poem.. and when my teacher read it.. i dint understand the message.. but hearing it from her voice.. i understand now.. Great vid..

[manymeez]

Maya Angelou is a gift to this world. If the people of this world can not, will not, do not listen to her...what hope is there left for any of us? The images matched with her words is one of the most inspiring things I have ever seen.

[CamFlame18]

GOD I LOVE HER VOICE!

AMAZING VIDEO!

[Loris3032]

Bravo! You have created a beautiful, artistic and powerful video to accompany Angelou's inspirational words.

[davishawn]

Wow, you got it right, thank you for using your imagination to bring us that powerful voice and visual genuis of yourself and maya angelou

[FamousName]

Why can't Hollywood produce things like this? Perhaps the format for those less urbane in society to appreciate the inspiration of Angelou's message. Keep up the goo work!

[jasonjhair]

2nd part of comment - because it is truth, and you captured that so artisticly. I think people should say thank you for posting this piece. I'm going to share this with everyone I know and through myspace because this was amazing. My email is my username at gmail

-Jay

[jasonjhair]

This video was so intense on so many levels. Maya Angelou is incredible, but what you did is absolutely amazing. You captured the whole feeling of what this incredible woman is saying. These shots are amazing, and the music together with all of this amazing piece

[jayelam]

Absolutely Beautiful! Wonderfully Inspirational.
