I Am Maya Angelou is the first segment of the 19th episode in Season 1 of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum.
Synopsis[]
Brad is caught in the middle of a sibling spat between Xavier and Yadina that ends with hurt feelings and a refusal to speak to each other ever again. There's only thing Brad can do... To the Secret Museum! Our heroes are sent back in time to meet someone who certainly has a way with words: Maya Angelou. They meet Maya as a young girl, working in her grandmother's store by day and reading every book in the library by night. She loves words and demonstrates the power they have - a power that can be used for good, or for bad. With Maya's help, Xavier and Yadina find it in their hearts to forgive each other and vow that from now on they will always use their words for good.
