So smoothly I can recite words

That of which are deeply heartfelt

With such poise and ease

[TheTorchSLGuide]

This poem is not for Black Women, but for all women all over the world. Listen to the words, not once does she specify colour or race. This is for all women, because we are phenomenal women.

[kate000ums]

NEVER felt this proud and self-assured to be a woman. I don't look "perfect"..I have a lot of guy friends who occasionally put me down with sly comments or remarks. But after this...?NOPE! Proud!!! Thank you Ms. Maya!!!

[nabilzing]

Maya Angelou is a one in a billion woman. She makes us think. Think about ourselves, the ones we love and the world around us.

All I have to do is think of her, her face, her voice, her words and a peace surrounds me inside and out.

Thank you Ms Angelou... for being you

Im a fith grader and my name is Arllyssa Ray and i have to do an poem for my graduation and this might be the one i pick.I lust like the way the poem connects to me...THANK YOU MAYA ANGELOU for writing this poem!!!!!!!

[Fallinwhite]

Hi! Thank you for sharing. I am wondering if the last stanza is revised? It's different from the versions that I've read.

[Frostypeanut]

I printed this out and I have it framed in my bathroom. Beautiful poem.

[megchristianfan]

On March 3, 2010 I heard and saw Meg Christian sing this poem on The 20th Anniversary Olivia Cruise. I am now waiting for her next CD which I know will include her song version of this poem. I was given a very special gift for which I am forever grateful.

[MusicandPrayer]

very good recording... muy perfecto!

[ChaChing86]

Yeeey me! I'm a pheno woman too!

[Nyblaque]

I LOVE!!!!!!!!!! this video and This is my favorite poem. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[gmcmim]

love this poem. we all know this poem is for a black woman. but if i can think of one white woman, i would say heather langenkamp.

[writer426]

I don't know that Maya would say that she wrote this for black women only. She was a proud advocate for all women. I think this fabulous poem is for all of us.

[Str8UpFabGeekStar]

no offense but im pretty sure she said all women not just black women, im black by the way. but i do believe that black women take it in more than white women.

[ElizabethGS]

@Str8UpFabGeekStar...she certainly did intend it for ALL women, and I do think you're right that too many women who are not black don't feel it's for them...at least the silly ones who can't see that we're all connected.

[aishab13]

how can I get a copy of this dvd?

[safrane95]

Hi Aisha, To get a copy, just download free "RealPlayer" software, and a little 'download' icon will then appear above every internet movie clip ready for automatic download with one click, and stored on your hard disc. Regards, John

[pazalmundo2001]

excellent

[lgdancer0214]

this is even good for a dance. even without a beat; someone from my studio did a solo with this song last year and it was really good. i love this poem(:

[Sexysheka03]

I said this poem in front of my junior high school during black history month. I felt so proud to be a young woman.

[mickindanny]

She's a leader, role model in every way, but especially as writer; she doesn't waste a word. The tightest writing I've ever seen. My favorite is "On Diverse Deviations"

[whitelion1]

This poet makes me proud to be a woman. She won an award at Glamour Woman of the Year award, that how I got to know about her.
