All Things Madison, Episode 18: Black History 365, Amanda Gorman, America's Poet

from  All Things Madison podcast

Did you watch the inauguration of President Joe Biden? If so, do you know who wowed the crowd with her impassioned speech? Or, who stole the opening at Super Bowl 55? It was none other than the hottest young poet to hit the scene in years - Amanda Gorman.  Amanda has shown herself to be a formidable orator with her emergence on the national stage, as she sets the mic on fire with her clever use of metaphor and rhyme. Madison examines Amanda's imagery in this episode as we kick off our nod to Black History Month.  To watch the videos of the full speeches go here:  Amanda Gorman Recites 'Chorus of the Captains' at Super Bowl LV Amanda Gorman reads the inauguration poem, 'The Hill We Climb' And be sure to check out our fellow Kids Listen podcasters on our new app at https://app.kidslisten.org/ Also, you can visit Madison's store at www.ShopMadisonLauren.com.  If you enjoyed the episode, kindly rate the show and leave a review for Madison to read.
