Amanda Gorman, 22, opened up about “the reality of black girls” while detailing an incident that happened right outside of her own apartment building on Friday night, March 5. “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,” the U.S.’s first National Youth Poet Laureate wrote in a message that she posted on her social media accounts on March 5.
