Maya Angelou was an American poet, singer, memoirist, and civil rights activist. She is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim. Angelou’s works are celebrated for their depiction of themes of struggle, strength, and overcoming adversity, deeply influenced by her Christian faith.
Angelou’s faith was a crucial element of her life, often reflected in her works and public speeches. She saw the Bible as a guide to life and a source of spiritual strength and inspiration, infusing her writing and poetry with themes of forgiveness, redemption, and love.
