So naturally when I discovered that she had published yet another book, “Mom & Me & Mom,” I could not resist it. I have always been inspired and empowered by her work and in awe of her poetry, wisdom, strength, and amazing talents. This month, we honor Maya Angelou as our inspiring woman of the month.
