Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

Your words will lead us through. Thank you for that beautiful expression of our grace, and our potential, and the wrongs that we can always right.

You were amazing and your poem is a total inspiration. “Just is I a not Justice” among so many other quotable lines. You are a brilliant person and I am so glad I got to see you and hear you. Congratulations 🎉🍾❤️
