She loved her brother very much.
Her stage name, Maya, was a nickname given by her brother, and Angelou, was a variation of her first name.
Remember this detail?
She was 8 when she was raped. After she testified in court, the police found the accused man beaten to death, she said.
"I thought my voice had killed him," Angelou said during a phone interview from Winston-Salem, N.C.
So, she stopped speaking, to everyone except her brother, for six years
good luck

Because she loves him--really and truly loves him--so she can't resent him.
