Favorite reading/author: Maya Angelou, her autobiography “I know why the caged bird sings” was one of the first novels that made me realize my love of moving literature and writing. She was a human rights activist that reached and inspired millions. She is a role model.

Five minutes with: Joan of Arc, she was a military genius who was divinely inspired by God. Reading about her life is like reading a Shakespearean tragedy (however ironic that may be due to the French to English disconnect). She is now a symbol of feminine strength and grit and to a certain extent, feminism. Plus she’s just pretty cool.
