Maya Angelou is known for her incredible talent as a storyteller, a historian for minority women, and skill as an amazing writer and poet.
Just in case you weren’t aware, she was also an ass kicking mom and a raging sass-machine. I was digging around on the internet looking for the below quote about christmas tree lights and came across some real gems.

“I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.”

“Nothing will work unless you do.”

“I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.”

“Some critics will write ‘Maya Angelou is a natural writer’ – which is right after being a natural heart surgeon.”
