Maya Angelou Blue | Black organic cotton tote bag

Against the black background, the portrait takes on a new presence. With Maya Angelou Blue, Marie-Claire Laffaire creates a dialogue between sand and blue tones against the dark backdrop of this tote bag. The realistic face, surrounded by plant motifs, draws the eye; tiny inscriptions invite you to discover the many lives of Maya Angelou: writer, poet, actress, streetcar conductor, dancer, singer, kitchen helper, maid, prostitute, madam, music shop clerk, journalist, administrative assistant, university professor, filmmaker, and civil rights activist. A phenomenal woman whose every life path enriches the portrait.

A book for the commute, some groceries, or the day's essentials: this artist tote bag accompanies your daily life with a work of art to share. Its 272 g/m² organic twill cotton, deep base, and two long straps make it a practical bag to carry over the shoulder. The portrait is DTF-printed on the front. At United Souls, style has meaning: the art of wearing your convictions.

THE POET AND CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHTER

MAYA ANGELOU (1928-2014) - UNITED STATES

Maya Angelou was an activist, poet, novelist, actress, director, and teacher. A victim of violence and trauma in her childhood, literature helped her regain the strength to speak. A central figure in African-American cultural life, she also lived in Ghana, where she hosted Malcolm X. Committed to the civil rights movement, she made her strong, unique, and literary voice heard to recount the life of a Black woman in segregationist America through seven autobiographical books and poetry. Her work is emblematic of an ongoing fight for equality, justice, and respect.
