WHAT I’M READING

Gather Together in My Name by Maya Angelou. This is the second of the 7-part autobiographical series that she wrote. It picked up where I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, right when she’s about to have her son, father not in the picture…and how she supports herself and her son over the next few years. She had the kind of life that seems more like a movie than real life. But it was her real life. 3.75/5

What I’m Listening To

And for a bit of a bright note (pun unintended), a Staten Island 4th- and 5th-grade chorus, led by their teacher via Zoom, puts together a charming year-end concert. It’s a charming story. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to listen to their story and their song.

See you next week!
