Maya Angelou - Legend and Sex Worker

“When Maya Angelou passed on May 28, 2014, the world lauded her genius, a figure of aspiration for women everywhere, particularly women of color. But the discussions of her life’s work were largely silent on the subject of her sex work. In a review of obituaries or tributes released after her death, it is mentioned cursorily, if at all, as a “brief stint” in commercial sex, glossed over as unimportant and distasteful — an affront to respectability politics and her legacy. This is particularly troubling given how open Angelou herself was about it.”
