A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat. https://t.co/MmANtQqpBs

I'm so excited to see @TheAmandaGorman recite one of her poems at the #SuperBowl. I hope the national interest in poetry & the arts flows over into sustained advocacy & funding in schools across the country. The arts are such a vital part of education & are often the first cut https://t.co/WoAK8EN1mX
