Just A Thought (Maya Angelou):

I have been fortunate enough in this life to recognize my passion, rise above my pain and grow from each experience. I attribute my strength to my Creator, my parents, my family, and my heroes—one of which was Dr. Maya Angelou. A few weeks ago, I sent her a copy of Love: Possible, wanting her to see and know just how much she had impacted my life. I've always been a writer—I was born with it—but after reading "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," at nine years old, I knew that no matter what my life would eventually include, words would always be my love.

I wholeheartedly believe that there are people our Creator brings into our lives to touch us; they steer our direction, motivate us with promise and possibility, and become the matches that spark our need to take flight. As a kid, Maya Angelou's words became my spark and my refuge, and like my love affair with music, continued to give me hope when I was hopeless, love when it was lacking, and calm, when my world seemed chaotic—even now, as an adult. I've dedicated many of my words to this intriguing, powerful, intelligent woman because I respected her adversity and fell in love with her imagery. I shudder, knowing that silence and suffering catapulted her into her greatness, but smile knowing that sounds and stories are what cemented her legacy. Consequently, her words became the catalyst for me to build upon my own greatness. So, I thank you #MayaAngelou; for all you were, and will continue to be; for captivating me, loving me, and investing in me. You've been my greatest literary inspiration, and for that, I am forever grateful. I pray your wings will fit you well. #RIP #PhenomenalWoman

    I, Kanika Vann (writer, author, editor, journalist, poet, publisher, and love enthusiast), created Love: Possible© with the intent to help save my sisters from the unnecessary pain that accompanies the acceptance of confusion, dysfunction, and disrespect in our romantic relationships, but not without calling special attention to our most valuable relationship—the one we have with ourselves.

    Subsequently, both my book and my website seek to help salvage our realistic expectations and eliminate our unrealistic beliefs. With these words, I aim to transform misconception into certainty, and disillusion into faith, in hopes that you'll each come to recognize who you are, what you are, and what you deserve.
