"I rise
I rise
I rise"

She was never beaten - truly a phenomenal woman.

Rest well,Maya - you deserve it.

Wonderful obituary on Last Word this week.

One thing I learned from this programme that I didn't know before...Maya was 6 feet tall!

Just had to watch John Singleton's 'Poetic Justice' the other night.

Not only does she do the poems for the film, she appears half way through with some sound life advice.

What an awesome woman she was

Will look out for that Kidda - cheers
