Poet Amanda Gorman is officially taking the world by storm after she performed her moving poem at President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
The National Youth Poet Laureate made such a big impression she’s already been invited to honor pandemic heroes at the upcoming Super Bowl.
The 22-year-old has agreed to write and recite a new poem that will honor teacher Trimaine Davis, nurse Suzie Dorner, and Marine Corps veteran James Martin.
All three have been widely praised for helping others during the height of coronavirus pandemic and were chosen for the moment by the NFL.
League officials made the exciting announcement on Wednesday as they stated: ‘The recitation of the poem will air nationally on CBS and be featured in-stadium.’
That isn’t the only exciting update in the world of the talented writer after she recited her powerful poem, The Hill We Climb, last week.
It’s since been revealed that the Harvard graduate has now signed with IMG Models.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the agency will focus on brand endorsements and editorial opportunities for the Harvard grad.
Supermodel Gigi Hadid took to Instagram to congratulate Amanda for joining the IMG family as she wrote: ‘WERK @AMANDASCGORMAN @IMGMODELS FAAAAAAM ! MAJOR.’
It’s been a week of pleasant surprises for Amanda as she also got praise for her work from Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Appearing on Good Morning America she was delighted to get a message from one of her inspirations, who congratulated her on the amazing performance.
Shocked by his message, Amanda told GMA’s Robin Roberts: ‘I almost fell out of my chair. That’s amazing!’
