I went looking for a reading of this poem for today - international women's day - and I'm so grateful for this. A phenomenal woman, reading a phenomenal poem, phenomenally. Thank you. x

[sosoblessed1]

what a phenomenal compliment!

thank you

[teatoastandturmoil]

Ma'am, I'd read this poem to myself off a page years ago, and loved it; but words need to be read out loud and OWNED by the reader to jump off the page and into the soul of a listener. Don't thank me for the comment - thank you for getting the words to jump off the page.

[sosoblessed1]

wow, that's awesome. once again, I MUST say THANK YOU. that was absolutely beautiful.

[banabinii]

I read this poem once and passed by it, but I rediscovered its beauty by listening to your reading! Very inspiring(: Nice job.

[sosoblessed1]

oh wow, what a compliment. thank you

[hollandberry]

[sosoblessed1]

thank you so much!

[SepiaBrown]

I just really love this! You have such a great personality. I like the way you share this poem. IT IS GREAT!

[sosoblessed1]

thank you so much for listening inspite of the lips/audi not lining up. I really appreciate the compliment.

[ccjmrable]

great voice, i wish it was synched as well.. you have lots of personality. I love this poem

[sosoblessed1]

thank you. I wish I could get it in synch. I don't know if there is a way, but I'm technically challenged. lol thank you anyway for enduring and watching.

[rosalieangelface221]

i love this video and i'm showing it to everyone :) something about the way you read it makes me feel really proud, and its a great comfort when i'm having a bit of an "ugly day" lol you know those days when you have super low confidence? this brings me right back up.

thank you so much for being my inspiration.

[sosoblessed1]

thank you so much for those kind words. I just wish my words and lips were in sync. thanks for looking pass that and enjoying the vid. stay encouraged, you are beautiful, phenomenal and blessed

[blink182bfs]

[sosoblessed1]

I really appreciate your kind words. thank you and be blessed

[SpamShock]

Cool Beans, But U Should Get The Vid In Sync With Your Voice

[sosoblessed1]

I know right, I hate that, but I don't know how to get it in sync after the fact. let me know if you have any suggestions. thanks

[ReapyRene]

That was a beautiful poem and you read it fantastically. It made me smile and think "hell yeah!" :) Thank you.

[sosoblessed1]

lol, thank you very much

[SheWritesToLive]

You're the best reading I've heard so far on Youtube. Just the way I imagined Maya saying it.

[sosoblessed1]

oh wow, what an awesome compliment. If you ever see Dr Angelou, please ask her to watch. lol thank you

[904yaboi]

[sosoblessed1]

thank you, and thanks for watching

[ANESIAKALLENS]

very nice =]

I got to see her when she visited my local college (evergreen)

<3

[sosoblessed1]

wow, it would be awesome to meet her. thanks for watching

[sharimtorres]

Well, I knew the poem by heart but i didnt wanna risk it and mess up. The prof let all of the student read our poems so I took advantage and had the poem in my hand while i preformed. Everyone liked my body language and atitude. I should have recorded it. It went very smooth. I dressed cute n sexy but not too revealing. Any how, as you already know, Angelou made it clear that its all about the attitude and nothing about the looks ;)

It was fun!

[sosoblessed1]

most definitely about the attitude and nothing else. glad to hear that it went well and thanks for the update. yes, that is a fun poem to recite, kudos to Dr Angelou.

[sharimtorres]

this is my favorite poem as well. hehe!

I gotta preform it on monday.  I'm so nervous!

[sosoblessed1]

how did you do? I'd love to hear back from you. be blessed

[TheFever77]

Very well recited, you did that so well. Much love from a dude in London.

[sosoblessed1]

thanks dude in London. I appreciate that.

[cubanprincess09]

[sosoblessed1]

[sallyvillefilms]

Love how you speak your truth sosoblessed! I first heard this poem as a song by blues singer Ruithie Foster. Her song representation to Maya's poem inspired a short film I did. you can see if you search david lynam. Thank you for your passion and great telling of this poem. take care, David

[sosoblessed1]

[Loriixoxo]

sosoblessed, you are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! You speak with such charismatic charm, and your smile, why, it's a sight to behold! You read Maya Angelou's words exactly how I imagined they'd be read. You are a strong woman; beautifully independant, and don't YOU EVER let anyone let you believe that you are anything LESS than phenomenal.

[sosoblessed1]

oh my you have blessed me! thank you so much for those beautiful and encouraging words.

be blessed
