Allison,

Loving support for Amanda Gorman poured in throughout the day. Seeing a Black woman wearing a natural updo inspired Black women who saw themselves represented in more ways than one. Oprah gifted her a set of earrings and a caged-bird ring as a tribute to Maya Angelo; she wore them during the ceremony. Her poetry inspired the new First Lady and teacher, Jill Biden, who advocated for her selection as the inaugural poet.
