[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 628280, member: 17461"] Interviews with Maya will be on OWN (Oprah Channel) fairly often within the next two weeks or so, I think. Watch for them. There was an interview Sunday. I had already seen it. Here is something else I learned that you might enjoy: When Maya was tired, or felt too small for who she had become, when she needed to be stronger than she felt she could be, she remembered that, just as each of us has been, she had been paid for by the long line of her grandmothers, stretching back into time. Whatever that unknown grandmother had suffered to leave the legacy of life for Maya, she did not want to let her down. She spoke of envisioning the grandmothers looking into her face, looking right into her eyes and saying, "So it was YOU I stood on that auction block, took that beating, lived through what I lived through for. Don't you let me down now, girl. Don't you do it." Cedar [/QUOTE]
