“Especially for girls of color, we're treated as lightning or gold in the pan--we're not treated as things that are going to last," [Amanda Gorman] said. "You really have to crown yourself with the belief that what I'm about and what I'm here for is way beyond this moment. I'm learning that I am not lightning that strikes once. I am the hurricane that comes every single year, and you can expect to see me again soon.”
