The World knows who Amanda Gorman is, since January 20, 2021, I feel badly I was Not Aware, of this Gem, I am Spellbound by her.

A beautiful way for me to start my Black History Month lessons and lead into March's Women's Month. Camden's Academy is going to rock this month. Thank you.

As much as I’d like to own her books (& likely will buy at least one after hearing almost 10 of her poems), I’m not sure I can do justice with the impacts and inflections she gives as they way they are meant to be read.
