Maya Angelou; Poet Laureate, Best Selling Author, Unashamed Prostitute

[Agness]

It's been three years since she died.... and I recall being shocked at this revelation.

What a lovely and well-written article though :adoration:

The Erasure of Maya Angelou's Sex Work History

 

[Aardvark154]

Hmm, I don't recall reading a single article which mentioned this.

When was she an escort (time period)?

... well you can start with the OP and the article I linked there, and then you could read her memoir ; Gather Together in My Name or the Wikipedia article about her.

VICE wrote an article in 2014 when she died and so did the HuffPost.
