Amanda Gorman makes her next big career moves

America’s youth poet laureate takes not one, but two big steps towards prolificacy after her televised inauguration debut.

After her stellar debut at Joe Biden’s inauguration, there’s no stopping poet laureate Amanda Gorman.

Not only has she signed with one of the world’s biggest modelling agencies IMG Models, the young star was also interviewed by former First Lady Michelle Obama last month for Time Magazine. #GirlPower

She said on her Instagram profile: ‘Wow, thank you @time for letting me grace the cover of your new special issue, “The Black Renaissance.” Created in collaboration with @ibramxk , the issue includes a conversation between me and former First Lady @michelleobama. So proud to be part of an issue that highlights so many Black artists I’ve looked up to for years. As the edition says: “THE RENAISSANCE IS BLACK.”’
