I have been inspired by Maya Angelou for the longest time, her softly spoken voice, she always appeared on TV as warm-hearted, wise, knowledgable, intuitively calm, genuine and modest with great values, principles, and blessed as a great role model. My beloved mum (R.I.P) being just as warm-hearted liked her also.
