A remarkable story of friendship, love, and courage.When Maya Angelou and Tavis Smiley met in 1986, he was twentyone and she was fiftyeight. For the next twentyeight years, they shared an unlikely, special bond. Angelou was a teacher and a maternal figure to Smiley, and they talked often, of art, politics, history, race, religion, music, love, purpose, and more than anything courage. Courage to be open, to follow dreams, to believe in oneself.In My Journey with Maya, Smiley recalls a joyful friendship filled to the brim with sparkling conversation in Angelou's gardens surrounded by her caged birds, before lectures, sharing meals, and on breaks from it all, they sought each other out for comfort, advice, and above all else, friendship.It began when he, a recent college graduate and a poor kid from a big family in the Midwest, was invited to join the revered writer on a sojourn to Africa. He would be handling her bags, but Maya didn't let that stop a friendship waiting to happen. Angelou was generous, challenging, and inspirational. Like a mother to him, she was selfless.Here Tavis Smiley shares his personal memories of Maya Angelou, of a decadeslong friendship with one of history's most fascinating women, one who left as indelible an imprint on American culture as she did on him.
