It Doesn't Take a Superhero to Be a Big

You don't need special powers. You don't need to have all the answers.

You just need to show up.

Become a Big and spend time with a young person who could benefit from another caring adult in their corner.

A conversation. A walk. A game. A little encouragement. Those ordinary moments can become something BIG.

On this beautiful Wednesday Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Mexico would like to honor some of the wonderful women who came before us, showcasing the impact they had on the world and their mentees through the amazing power of mentorship! 💫

Dr. Maya Angelou was a prominent civil rights activist, as well as a memoirist, poet, and essayist. In her lifetime she published over 30 books and has received dozens of awards, including a Pulitzer, the Mother Teresa Award (which was an award presented right here in Albuquerque by St. Bernadette’s!) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, just to name a few! Dr. Angelou also worked alongside notable civil rights figures, including Malcom X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and James Baldwin.

A not as known fact about Dr. Maya Angelou is that she was also a mentor to Oprah Winfrey herself! The two were friends for over 30 years until Dr. Angelou passed in 2012, but before then she mentored Oprah through some of the most important years of her life. Without Dr. Maya Angelou's mentorship, the world may not know Oprah as the incredible, influential woman that she is today! 😮

As amazing as these two women's story is, you don't need to win a Pulitzer or host your own TV show to have something to offer as a mentor. Your own unique wisdom and experience, when paired with quality, one-to-one mentorship, is enough to make a huge and lasting impact on a child's life 💚🖤
