Does Maya Angelou Look Like Oprah Winfrey?
As a child, Maya Angelou overcame a life of struggle and hardship as an African-American child, only to emerge as a beautiful and gifted woman with many talents—one of the most notable being her influential voice expressed so beautifully in her autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Oprah Winfrey, a close friend and kindred spirit of Angelou, not only bears a striking resemblance to her but also knows the pain that the famed poet experienced firsthand. Both women endured racism in the South, overcame the scars of sexual abuse from their childhood, and became pillars of strength for people of all backgrounds using only their once-neglected voices to touch the lives of millions.
