Maya Angelou Products Coming To Atlanta’s Americas Mart

Poet and American matriarch Maya Angelou wielded the written and spoken word like no other. Now those inspiring sentiments will be sprinkled on your favorite things. Caged Bird Legacy LLC, African American Expressions is debuting several products in Atlanta next week with Angelou’s imprint on them.

Fans will be able to buy “Still I Rise” calendars, journals, tote bags and all kinds of home décor, including first ever Christmas card with words from Dr. Angelou’s “Amazing Peace” poem.

“Legacy is so important,” said Greg Perkins, CEO of AAE. “Dr. Angelou empowered so many with her words of love, courage, and hope. With that in mind we created a line of products that not only reflected the beauty of her remarkable spirit, but products that allow everyone the chance to give that special someone the gift of her words.”

The products will soon be in stores around the nation, but for now African American Expressions will be offering a sneak peek at the full line of Dr. Angelou products, as well as over 100 additional new products at the America’s Mart in Atlanta, from July 10-16.

You can visit there in person, or go online to www.black-cards.com. The website will be updated with the products available for pre-order.
