    Amanda I absolutely love your fashion sense! You are unique and beautiful. I am also very glad to hear you say that you are careful about the images of yourself you "put out there," that they remain "Presidential." I was thinking, I hope you don't sell out and become some pop culture icon.Because you could do anything at this point. I know you won't do that because you are too intelligent and sure of yourself, but glad to hear you want to put forth an elegant, powerful, and poised image and stick to who you truly are. Authenticity and being guided by the Inner Self/Soul is what Americans and the world need to see modeled the most right now. You have my vote when the time comes! What a superstar you are. Keep shingng your Light.

      It is not a weave. They are braids. Big difference. Many people wear “fake” hair even if you don’t notice. It is everywhere. Women may add extra pieces to natural hair to make it more full, or longer, etc. Or add a bun or ponytail to give the appearance of them having much more hair than is truly theirs. Whatever the style, it is their personal choice and how they want to present themselves.

    She is way over-rated. Any student of acting, and any woman who hosts a talk show, news show, gives the weather or gives CNN or Fox news or commentary, could read a poem just as effectively. Any theatre actress, theatre student or woman who's used to speaking to large groups can read a poem. Many school teachers as well. Don't ya'll think it's MUCH MORE than a coincidence that Amanda Gorman is YOUNG and PRETTY?
    Come ON, people, if she were middle aged or fat or homely, she would NOT have been selected to read a poem at the inauguration or SB, and you stinking know it. I also have to believe that is she were WHITE, she would NOT have been selected. But these days, young, pretty, and especially black -- gets you lots of privilege.
    But even if AG was white, I'd STILL be saying the same thing: There is just too much hullabaloo over her. For godsake, she read a poem with passion. Any adolescent involved in school plays can do this.
