Celebrating Maya Angelou's 97th Birthday!

2025 "Still We Rise"

Celebrating Maya @ 97

“Still We Rise,” is the theme for this year’s monthlong celebration of Dr. Maya Angelou’s 97th birthday.  Since 2014, the Celebrate! Maya Project has celebrated the life and legacy of iconic poet, writer and humanist Maya Angelou, and as in the past we will celebrate her throughout the month of April. 

Who we are

Celebrate! Maya Project

The Celebrate! Maya Project promotes the life, contributions, and history of Dr. Maya Angelou through our work with children and communities of Arkansas.  We seek ways to educate, advocate, and promote literacy and humanities by teaching the history of literary icon, Maya Angelou. We seek partnerships with Arkansas schools, communities, and nonprofit organizations to help bring this legend to life. 

“The ache of home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”   — Maya Angelou
