With all the excitement on Wednesday, I forgot to include this clip from the presidential inauguration, in case you missed it. It is nothing short of amazing that this incredibly bright and poised young woman is a bit shy of her 23rd birthday!
Amanda Gorman (born March 7, 1998 [on my 46th
birthday!] ) is an American poet and activist from Los Angeles, California.[1] Gorman's
work focuses on issues of oppression, feminism, race, and marginalization, as
well as the African diaspora.
Gorman published the poetry book The One for
Whom Food Is Not Enough in 2015. In 2017, Gorman became the United
States of America's first National Youth Poet
Laureate.[2] She
became the youngest poet to read at a presidential inauguration, reciting her
poem "The Hill We Climb" at
the inauguration of Joe Biden in
January 2021.[3]
Meanwhile, on a more amusing note, check this out.
Have a healthy, safe, calm, and enjoyable weekend.
Love,
Rebecca
