This post is a short one. I had to support because she captivated my attention that fine January 20th day. Amanda Gorman and her poetry, her aura, her words, spoken so effortlessly, so eloquently, made me long for days and times where minds are free and words are like opium for the soul. Fierce and free is the message she gave to me that day, as a path towards climbing my own hills. One that I know I would surely emerge victorious because history has it’s eyes on me. Keep remembering the hill we climb and get your own copy of this inaugural poem for the country if you can. You will be supporting a bright young woman who is truly on her way to author a new chapter of what it means to be young, gifted and black, fierce but truly free.
