Through the lens of her own relationship with her mother, Angelou illustrates how a mother's resilience can serve as a beacon of courage for her child. Growing up, Angelou experienced moments of doubt and insecurity, but her mother's unwavering strength was a constant source of inspiration. In times of turmoil, when the world seemed to be closing in on her, Angelou looked to her mother for guidance. It was her mother's ability to stand tall in the face of adversity that gave Angelou the courage to face her own challenges head-on. One particular instance that stands out in Angelou's recollection is when her mother fearlessly confronted a racist landlord who had mistreated them. In that moment, Angelou witnessed her mother's unyielding spirit and refusal to back down in the face of injustice. This display of strength left a lasting impression on Angelou, showing her that courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to push through it.

Through her mother's example, Angelou learned that true courage comes from within, and that even in the darkest of times, one can find the strength to persevere. In sharing her story, Angelou highlights the profound impact that a mother's strength can have on her daughter, inspiring her to face the world with bravery and resilience.
