Black Girl Dopeness

She stole our hearts and blessed our spirits when America was introduced to the mega talent on Inauguration Day of incoming President Joe Biden. Just on the heels of becoming the youngest inaugural poet in US history, Amanda Gorman brings poetry to the Superbowl stage weeks later, yet another first. Time Magazine is now featuring Gorman on its cover of the special edition focused on this time period in Black Culture. In the issue, Michelle Obama discusses everything from Art to Identity in an intimate conversation with Amanda.

This young queen has also been named in Times 100 Next 2021 List.
