GB84: Black History Poetry Moment- Dr. Maya Angelou, The Mask

This week on Grateful Badass Podcast, we begin our celebration of Black History Anniversary Month.

For this week and episode #84, host Stacey Mack recites an excerpt from poem, The Mask by Dr. Maya Angelou, an adaptation from Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem, We Wear The Mask. The recitation serves as a tribute to our ancestors, those who have endured, those who have paved the way and endured. Those still enduring wearing the mask.

As mentioned, here is a video of Dr. Angelou and the inspiration for this episode and tribute to the ancestors.

Next week, we honor and celebrate additional notables in Black History.

Always in Love, Truth & Gratitude,

~ Stacey Mack and Grateful Badass Podcast Team
