She stated, “Brazenly wise, brilliantly, eloquent, with an ever-prevailing force: These are the words that describe the exceptional author, artist, activist and activist Dr. Maya Angelou.”
“A powerful force that inspired many with her honest and brave words. Let her determination to succeed be a motivation for all of us.

Zawe said: “The honesty that Toni Morrison talks about black beauty, and identity changes you for the better.”
Writer Scarlett Curtis, daughter of Richard Curtis and Emma Freud, chose the Nora Ephron t-shirt, saying: ‘Since the moment I first read Nora’s work she has been a permanent fixture in my head.
‘A guiding, comic, sometimes overly harsh voice that almost feels to an adult imaginary friend.
‘Nora’s legacy will never be forgotten and it is my complete honour to wear her name over my (very small) boobs and to remind people how lucky we are to have her art in our world.’
BBC Radio 1 host, Maya Angelou was praised for her words which are so powerfully evocative both of pain and hope.
