Great presentation! First time I heard this poem was as a song by Ruthie Foster. I love Ruthie and this song is incredible. I made a short narrative with my sister because I think she is incredible too. search david lynam and you'll see it.
That's a fantastic poem but what a brilliant twist you've added here by showing the breadth of women that the words encompass. Five star fave. Cheers, Lesley
:) lol strongwood. I think it's a funny name so I picked it. I'm surprised nobody has thought of that name before. I only remember this poem from the movie Poetic Justice starring Janet Jackson. Maya Angelou is in it too.
Janet Jackson I think is amazing in that movie, I think she's a really good actress, and I really enjoy seeing her in movies. Maya Angelou is perfect in that movie. I have Phenomenal Woman in one of her books. I'll have to do a video response, I'm great at reciting this poem!
I believe the song at the end of Poetic Justice is "Again", or did you pay attention?
if you did , did it start "I heard from a friend today, and she said you were in town, suddenly the memories came back to me in my mind" that song makes me cry.
This is fabulous!! rated a five subscribed.. You rock!!! Keep up the great videos!! Still wondering when I'm going to get off my rear, buy a ricer and make that potato pie!! You are terrific!
You are a phenomenal woman. You are strong, beautiful inside and out, confident, embracing, accepting, fun, loving, thoughtful...
I am honored to have been a part of this and touched that you would think to include me. Your reading was wonderful and the video is very well composed.
You freakin' rock. I told you when I first discovered your channel... I loved you right away. :)
sweetyJune22: And you felt a need to inform everyone of this why? Homophobic much? O.o You know, Princess Diana isn't gay, she's just proud to be female. Apparently you haven't watched her channel much or something. Anyway...we're all real happy for you that you "love the cock." LOL
What a beautiful sentiment. What beautiful poetry. And such beautiful music (though I'm pretty sure it's by Dvorak and not incompetech) ;) A lot of well-known and well-loved faces there. Thanks for sharing.
If I could give this more,More stars ,I would.You read Maya Angelo perfectly. I leave this video with pride and joy in my heart after watching this wonderful work of art.
Holy Catfish! This is beautiful Diana. I'm putting it on my featured video today. You have such an amazing role model for young women today. I respect you fully.
O.O!! Did I just see that?! This was.. BEYOND phenomenal! It's a total work of art! GOSHH! I hope it's legal for GUYS to favorite this? ...Because I just did! LoL!
wooow amazing video!!! very nice!
