I was fortunate enough to have Maya living within a couple of miles of me, and was able to meet her a couple of times. I admired her, and she was an inspiration to me. Her words and actions resonated with me, and I always felt she had veracity of emotion that I could only aspire to. I too, know why the caged bird sings, but I learned it from you, Maya.
