Why Ancora Intervengo?

Hi! So I just created my first blog! Most of you may be wondering why I called it "Ancora Intervengo" and what in the world that means. Ancora Intervengo is Italian for "still I rise". This phrase, coined by the late and great Maya Angelou, has been very prevalent in my life. It has been a constant reminder that no matter what happens and what obstacles I may have to get through in life, I am still able to conquer and rise above them. "Out of the huts of history's shame / I rise / Up from a past that's rooted in pain / I rise / I am a black ocean, leaping and wide / Welling and swelling I bear in the tide / Leaving behind nights of terror and fear / I rise / Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear / I rise / Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave / I am the dream and the hope of the slave / I rise / I rise / I rise" (Still I Rise by Maya Angelou)
