When all around has grown dark, the grey clouds constantly rolling in, it’s always a thrill to spot the first ray of light. Which, in a little way, explains my intense emotions hearing Amanda Gorman’s poem for the first time, that feeling of finally, a new chapter, finally, a voice speaking words I want to hear.

After hearing her, seeing her, I did a google dive to find out more, and came across this video, which also touched my heart, though for different reasons.

Some say she is a person of a future. Surely she’s a person of now?
