Maya Angelou - Katherine Krizek

Maya Angelou, best known for her strikingly candid poetry and autobiographical accounts, also excelled in many other creative endeavors; she became a successful essayist and playwright, singer, dancer, actress, composer, director, and activist. In 1969, her first published work “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”, brought sexual assault into the national conversation by discussing her own experience with the trauma of rape.

Angelou went on to work with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2010 for her contributions to racial activism.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."

Been on my fitness journey heavy. Signed up with my personal gym this February and I was awarded today after completing my first TFIT Challenge. Not only did I get MVP, I achieved 1 Million Steps (1,033,490 to be exact) by the end of the challenge.

Had to revisit the oldies

There’s a candid photo of a guy I took and I cannot find it. I want to ask him if he has that photo (because I sent it to him a few years ago) but I don’t want followup questions on why I need it now 😭

You calm my Storms… You give me Rest. You hold me in your hands… You will never ever ever let me fall.

[llvnos]

I still come back to listen to this. 🌿

[llvnos]

And I do.

Who told us to grow up and fade into Adulting?

[llvnos]

Just me speaking out loud but… my family on both sides have history of BC. And my moms side (tnbc and other subtypes) all kept their breasts (they’re mostly nurses) my dads side however, they did normal smx, dmx, etc,. Whatever was told to them. And I’m just like…. Lost… bc Im the youngest one hit with this diagnosis but I do talk to my aunts/fam. And they all told me one simple thing. STRICT NUTRITION is a big role in their NED and lack of reoccurrence. I’m talking over 10+ years out. Exercise too of course! Detoxify the body. Staying away from fast food and embracing cancer fighting foods like fruits, teas, wholesome plant based foods with antioxidant and inflammation reducing properties. And kicking sugar. We know Sugar is in everything!

I literally be in the grocery store walking down the aisle like "processed.. that’s processed… processed again…" And I just sit back like damn… our food system in America really sucks. Like REALLY sucks. And our doctors are just smiling like "eat whatever you want."

No. I think gut health is super important. It’s responsible for a lot of our illnesses and diseases but a lot of our triggers can be reversed if we just studied how our bodies react to the foods we eat. But it doesn’t help that our produce is sprayed with shit and our meats are injected with who knows what.

Like… why?

WHY?

Gonna be soloing my LA trip in June.

I’m excited. I’ve never been there.

I just hear it’s the same as Miami.

I’m looking forward to that 😋

[llvnos]

I’m upset I went and was pissed the whole time.

ONLY bc it was not a solo trip.

ONLY bc the MFer who tagged along made it into THEIR trip when it was MY vacation to take.

Y’all know how frustrating that is?

I want a do-over!

[llvnos]

Didn’t go to Art Basel this year. Well, the convention center part. My oncologist, breast cancer, and being immuno-compromised won’t let me be great. I do however want to go to wynwood but with the way they spinning new variants like they’re dropping new iPhones every 6 months, I can’t take any chances.

“I’m having a private party. That only myself attends. And if the DJ plays this song to my soul it’ll give itself a cleanse. They telling me all the pain I ever felt was self-infringed. But I had help from friends - one even held the syringe.

Architected my own path, like to think it’s designed the best. Defied the odds, I never aged while giving time a test. Dumb niggas on house arrest. I’m on a mind arrest. You trying to call me or text me, don’t even bother I’m trying to give mine a rest.

I got a treasure but it’s content is invisible. Was filled before with shit that I thought I treasured but made me miserable.

I’m torn within. And my eyes are heavy I’m born again. Just means I died already.”
