When Amanda Gorman recited "The Hill We Climb" at Biden’s inauguration, the then-22-year-old didn’t just deliver a poem—she reignited global faith in language’s power. Her verses, weaving history with hope, became a balm for a divided America. But Gorman’s genius extends beyond performance; she crafts lines like "There is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it" as mantras for activism, merging art with social change.
Now a Harvard grad and bestselling author, Gorman uses her platform to advocate for literacy equity and climate justice, proving poets can be policy influencers. Her upcoming "You Can Do Hard Things" children’s book continues her mission: empowering young minds to speak—and shape—their truth. In an era of soundbites, she reminds us that depth still wins.
