Maya Angelou, Part 1: Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Oscar Wilde once quipped that "every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future."  In this episode of ILL REPUTE! Sovereign and Siouxsie sit down with guest co-hosts Mistress X and Sparkle to talk about Maya Angelou, the smudging of her sex worker past, black womanhood, and the narratives that shape us as women.  What makes a hero, and icon, the voice of generation, a saint, a legend?  What do these stories tell us about ourselves.
