8. Lesson 1
MrMuchimi

The ways that Maya Angelou showed resilience in her life include:

  • Angelou was a fierce advocate for the rights of women, children, and the underrepresented.
  • She moved fluidly between the literary and activist spheres.
  • Despite all of the tragedies in her life that might have paralyzed her, Angelou showed resilience by pursuing her passion.

<h3>How did May show resilience?</h3>

Maya Angelou experienced an erratic childhood that comprised numerous migrations and residences as well as a time of horrific assault that rendered her speechless for over five years. Even after she had recovered, her life continued to be turbulent, both in terms of her own decisions working as the first black streetcar conductor at age 16 and those made by the people around her, such as when she was devastated by the murders of her friends and coworkers.

However, Angelou persisted, as she noted in "Still I Rise," possibly her most well-known poem. These experiences influenced her, but they didn't halt or define her. She became, for so many, a representation of resilience, the ability to endure through difficulty and adversity.
