Dr Maya Angelou and me in her home in Winston Salem, NC in 2010. Photo by Bob Richman.
On the eve of the memorial service for Dr Angelou, I’m reposting this essay about producing her autobiographical Master Class episode for OWN.
Though my heart is heavy and full, it was an honor to know her even for a moment. Rest in Peace, Phenomenal Woman.
