Born and raised in Los Angeles, she began writing at only a few years of age.

Amanda has performed multiple commissioned poems for CBS This Morning and she has spoken at events and venues across the country, including the Library of Congress and Lincoln Center.

She has written for the New York Times newsletter The Edit and penned the manifesto for Nike's 2020 Black History Month campaign. She is the recipient of the Poets & Writers Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award, and is the youngest board member of 826 National, the largest youth writing network in the United States.
I added textures and filters to create an oil painting effect for this image of poet Amanda Gorman at the podium for the Biden Inaugural ceremony 1-20-21.
