As Black History Month winds down and Women's History Month winds up, we salute the inimitable Maya Angelou. Not only is she from St. Louis, she is a treasure and her wise words are as relevant today as ever. As marketers we see and use inspirational quotes often but don’t always know much about their origin or context.

We’re proud to celebrate Maya Angelou, a St. Louis native and influential black woman, activist, artist and scholar. Her teachings are timeless and her wisdom has forever left a mark on the world.

A Few Of Our Favorite Gifts From Maya:

“The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.”

“This is what I am learning, at 82 years old: the main thing is to be in love with the search for truth.”

“You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.”

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

“When you get give. When you learn teach.”
