Shawn’s Favorite Interview: The Legendary Maya Angelou [50 Memories in 50 Days]

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you ~ Maya Angelou

As we look back at memories here at WOBM I can't help but remember all the great interviews I have been a part of here on the morning show. I've done many in my 22 years hosting the Ocean County Breakfast Show, but one that sticks out is when Sue & I sat down to chat and have coffee with the legendary Maya Angelou. When you listen to Maya speak you can feel her passion, knowledge, and wisdom. She was truly a literary icon.

Among Maya's accomplishments:

• Pulitzer Prize Nominee
• Presidential Medal of Freedom
• National Medal of the Arts
• Grammy Winner
• Tony Award Nominee
• National Women's Hall of Fame
• Crystal Award
• Coretta Scott King Award
• Lincoln Medal

These are just a few of her lifetime achievements. It was a great honor for Sue and me to do this interview prior to Maya Angelou's death in 2014.
