From an early age, Little Amanda read everything she could get her hands on, from books to cereal boxes. Growing up with an auditory processing disorder and a speech impediment, Amanda had to work hard, but ultimately she took great strength from her experiences. After hearing her teacher read aloud to the class, she knew that she wanted to become a poet, and nothing would stand in her way. At the age of 19, she became America's first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate. And, after performing her inspiring poem “The Hill We Climb” at the Presidential Inauguration in January 2021, she became an icon across the world.

As 2024 comes to a close, Hollywood Live with Tanya Hart recaps a year of entertainment, scandal, redemption, and history-making moments. Tanya delves into the most scandalous story of the year: Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal downfall following a litany of charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, that shocked the entertainment world. On the brighter side, Will Smith made a triumphant return with Bad Boys Ride or Die, grossing over $400 million globally, and Jonathan Majors found redemption and love after being exonerated of sexual battery charges. In sports, Simone Biles dominated the Paris Summer Olympics, while the U.S. team brought home 126 medals, solidifying 2024 as a year to remember in athletics. In music, Beyoncé reshaped country music with her Cowboy Carter LP, alongside breakthrough artist Shaboozie, whose country remake of “Tipsy” became a cultural sensation. Tanya also highlights an overlooked piece of history—Louis Vasnear, the first person to record a country song, way back in 1891. Finally, Tanya reflects on the political shift brought on by George Clooney's letter to the New York Times, which led to Kamala Harris stepping into the presidential race. Despite a narrow loss to Donald Trump, her historic campaign leaves a lasting impact. Tanya closes with an excerpt from Amanda Gorman's moving poem, The Hill We Climb, to inspire hope for the future.

Scott reflections on the quote from Amanda Gorman, "There is always light. If only we are brave enough to see it. If only we are brave enough to be it." Here is the entire poem, "The Hill We Climb," from which this quote comes:   The Hill We Climb When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade We've braved the belly of the beast We've learned that quiet isn't always peace And the norms and notions of what just is Isn't always just-ice And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it Somehow we do it Somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished We the successors of a country and a time Where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one And yes we are far from polished far from pristine but that doesn't mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect We are striving to forge a union with purpose To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another We seek harm to none and harmony for all Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true: That even as we grieved, we grew That even as we hurt, we hoped That even as we tired, we tried That we'll forever be tied together, victorious Not because we will never again know defeat but because we will never again sow division Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree And no one shall make them afraid If we're to live up to our own time Then victory won't lie in the blade But in all the bridges we've made That is the promise to glade The hill we climb If only we dare It's because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it's the past we step into and how we repair it We've seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy And this effort very nearly succeeded But while democracy can be periodically delayed it can never be permanently defeated In this truth in this faith we trust For while we have our eyes on the future history has its eyes on us This is the era of just redemption We feared at its inception We did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour but within it we found the power to author a new chapter To offer hope and laughter to ourselves So while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe? Now we assert How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us? We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be A country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation Our blunders become their burdens But one thing is certain: If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children's birthright So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left with Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west, we will rise from the windswept northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states, we will rise from the sunbaked south We will rebuild, reconcile and recover and every known nook of our nation and every corner called our country, our people diverse and beautiful will emerge, battered and beautiful When day comes we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid The new dawn blooms as we free it For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it If only we're brave enough to be it

Ativista em prol da educação, do meio ambiente e da equidade racial, a aclamada poetisa estreia na literatura infantil com uma obra rica e potente, que convida as crianças a construir um mundo mais inclusivo.

Amanda Gorman is an American treasure. Her inaugural poem, The Hill We Climb, stunned audiences around the world in 2021, and her tome of poetry, Call Us What We Carry, spoke to the pain and powerlessness that the world felt while locked down by COVID-19. What you might not know (and now we hope you do) is that she is also an accomplished children's author. Her latest, Something, Someday teaches kids to make the world a better place by starting small while thinking big. Illustrated by the talented Christian Robinson (who also joins us), Amanda's words reach out from the page to say that no one is too small to make a difference.

Recently a school in Miami-Dade objected to the fierce and electrifying inauguration poem, The Hill We Climb by then 22-year-old Amanda Gorman, being available to children. They moved it into an older section of the library, away from the eyes of its younger students, claiming, the poem will "lead to confusion and indoctrination..." and was, therefore, a threat.Jan highlights the poem and the power of absolute clarity the poem brings and how each of us can see ourselves as a piece of light if we're "brave enough to be it."

Lisa analyzes the latest book bannings with Amanda Gorman's poem The Hill We Climb being banned in one Florida elementary. The restriction is because one parent who cited the poem had indirect hate speech. In this NPR article, the parent's petition is included, and the parent incorrectly stated that the poem's author was Oprah Winfrey.  Here's where you can read or hear the poem. Penguin Random House and others are suing a school district in Florida for the excessive book banning, citing that it violates students' first amendment rights. For more information, find Lisa on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and her website. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links.

The inauguration of President Joe Biden generated many memorable images. There was the inauguration of Vice President Kamala Harris, the first woman of color to hold the office. Young poet Amanda Gorman gave a mesmerizing reading of her poem, “The Hill We Climb.”And Sen. Bernie Sanders became an internet icon for his mittens.A photo captured Sanders bundled against the January cold, sitting alone on a chair, cross-legged, wearing a Burton ski parka and looking cozy in a pair of fuzzy wool mittens. The image instantly became a viral meme depicting him on the throne from Game of Thrones, on Mike Pence's head and sitting in a row of ironworkers high above New York City.This viral sensation led reporters to seek out the mitten maker. They quickly found Jen Ellis, a second grade teacher at Westford Elementary School. She sewed the mittens for Sanders after he lost the 2016 Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton. She hoped it would cheer him up.Ellis's sudden fame turned her life upside down. She was flooded with interview requests and thousands of mitten orders that overwhelmed her. She ultimately struck a deal with Darn Tough, which made the “Jenerosity” socks, which sold out in a day and resulted in thousands of meals being donated to the Vermont Foodbank. She partnered with Vermont Teddy Bear which continues to make the iconic Bernie Mittens.Jen Ellis has written a book, Bernie's Mitten Maker, which tells a deeper back story. Ellis is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. It was in an elementary school sewing class that Ellis “started to develop the skills I needed to save myself.”Ellis told The Vermont Conversation that she shared this story in her book because “the longer people remain silent about this, the more it is able to spread as an epidemic.”“The world might have learned about me because of some mittens I made,” she said, “but there's a whole intricate backstory that people don't know, that is interesting. And that has a theme of empowerment and generosity and kindness, and it has a path in the end to joy.”

Target stores have had to remove their PRIDE displays in some areas due to a vocal anti-LGBTQ minority. Then, Amanda Gorman, who delivered her poem, “The Hill We Climb,” at the Biden/Harris Inauguration had her poem taken out of circulation at a Miami elementary school based on a one parent protest. Finally, after 18 years a pair of the famed Ruby Slippers worn by Judy Garland in the Wizard of OZ were recovered in Minnesota. The shoes, one of four pairs that exist, were stolen from a museum and have a value pegged in the $3.5 million range.Apple Podcasts: apple.co/1WwDBrCSpotify: spoti.fi/2pC19B1iHeart Radio: bit.ly/2n0Z7H1Tunein: bit.ly/1SE3NMbStitcher: bit.ly/1N97ZquGoogle Podcasts: bit.ly/1pQTcVWPandora: pdora.co/2pEfctjYouTube: bit.ly/1spAF5aAlso follow Tim and John on:Facebook: www.facebook.com/focusgroupradioTwitter: www.twitter.com/focusgroupradioInstagram: www.instagram.com/focusgroupradio

Arming Ourselves With Poetry, Film & Discussion on Memorial Day: 1917  Memorial Day is here. Sarah and Jennie urge Screen Cares listeners to respect the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of all armed forces and their families by choosing to seek civil discourse rather than looking for an enemy among us. By thoughtfully screening 1917, we are reminded that there is a real human cost in war and that as articulated in Amanda Gorman's optimistic poem, “The Hill We Climb,” America is “not broken but simply unfinished.”  1917 (2019) - IMDb For those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, please visit this link for the transcript of this episode of Screen Cares: Episode Transcript Special Thanks to all who have served and lost in armed conflicts. We see you, your families, and your sacrifices.  Episode Host: Sarah Woolverton-Mohler Co-Host: Jennie Ziverk Carr                 Screen Shares Rating:  1917 is an excellent Family Screen to share in any experiences and memories that an intergenerational viewing may stir up, as well as a (cautionary) Little Screen to help provide older adolescents with the context that violence in real life is very different than that often portrayed in action movies, and that Memorial Day celebrations come at a cost.  Screen Sparks: Use our Screen Sparks to discuss 1917 and the incredible significance of Memorial Day as you consider the use of war movies, depiction of violence and truth with those you care about: There are many types of violence– slapstick/comedy, domestic, sci-fi/superhero, horror/torture, war and more. Do you feel that all violence should be treated the same? Do war movies make you feel more or less optimistic about the human condition?

As the U.S. inches closer to defaulting on its debts, reporting suggests the Biden administration and House Republicans are closer to a deal. The Biden people seem to be looking for ways to soften the blow of their cave. Ron DeSantis officially announced that he's running for president on Twitter. Well, sort of. The planned announcement through a Twitter live audio broadcast went horribly awry as Elon Musk once again demonstrated how he's wreaked havoc on the platform. But, maybe it's just par for the course for DeSantis. Bring in the autocratic clowns.  Indiana medical board reprimands the doctor who spoke publicly about providing abortion services to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio. The case was one of the first such stories to emerge in wake of the overturning of Roe v Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court. Ohio banned abortion after a heartbeat could be detected. That's about 6 week.  Steward Rhodes, founder of the right-wing extremist group the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in jail for his role orchestrating the January 6th violent attack on the nation's Capitol.  Climate scientists are bailing on Twitter after Elon Musk took over the platform, reporting a growing hostile environment, increasing levels of racism and sexism, and bots pushing climate misinformation.  Texas approves a bill that will allow public schools to replace counselors with uncertified chaplains.  A Mom for Liberty is working to have Amanda Gorman's poem, “The Hill We Climb,” banned from schools on the grounds that it is “not educational” and contains “hate messages.” Gorman read her poem at Biden's inaugural.  And on the flip-side of the book-banning fight, The Education Department's Office of Civil Rights has released findings saying that a Georgia school district's removal from libraries books with Black and LGBTQ content may have violated students' civil rights.  In new reporting by Aly Shaw in LilttleSis, we learn that the lobbying arm of Big Oil, the American Petroleum Institute, has spent nearly $1.8 million in Pennsylvania to push its interests. Aly will be coming on Out d'Coup LIVE on June 12 to talk about her piece.  A Bucks County judge issued an injunction against Republican operatives who were distributing fake sample ballots for Region 2 of the Palisades School District during the primaries. Pennridge School Board member Ricki Chaiken turned to a Facebook parents group to issue a lengthy, paragraph challenged screed defending the Board's shift toward extremism and discrimination. In it, she makes it clear that fellow board member, Jordan Blomgren, had been talking with Hillsdale College's Jordan Adams well before Adams started his for-profit consultancy, Vermillion Education.  Perkasie Farmers Market opens on June 3rd!

Well, we know Ronnie D's running (even if Twitter's audio feed wasn't); it's the support that he and Trump combined get that's so troubling. For a group of self-professed patriots and lovers of country, it's just odd they go with "dividers" instead of uniters. Also odd that Elon "free speech" Musk aligns in any way with Governor Ron "Book Ban This," eh? Even Amanda Gorman's "The Hill We Climb" is a no-go in a Florida school, thanks to Ron's (ahem) "leadership." I'm joined today by Craig Harrington, research director at Media Matters for America. The idea was to discuss print media coverage of the debt ceiling (made-up) crisis, and we do get to it; but it's hard not to note the one-year anniversary of the Uvalde mass school shooting massacre, and also the death of an icon in Tina Turner.

While April may be the cruelest month, it's an exciting time for poetry. From Jamaica Plain to Cambridge, the Boston area is flush with open mics and poetry slams — and over the last few years, it seems like poetry has been winning the hearts and minds of young and old alike. A study found the amount of young people reading poetry almost doubled from 2012-2017, traffic to sites such as Poets.org surged 25% during the beginning of the pandemic, and hundreds of new independent bookstores have opened across the country in recent years. Poets like Rupi Kaur have over four and a half million followers on Instagram, and there have been moments where poetry has exploded in pop culture, including when Amanda Gorman read her poem, “The Hill We Climb” at President Biden's inauguration. "The music of poetry is back. And the performance aspects of poetry are back. And the public aspects of poetry are back," says Elisa New, professor of American Literature at Harvard University. "I think those three things, together, really encapsulate why there's this renewed enthusiasm and excitement about poetry. It's been lifted off the page and out of solitary experience and brought back into the body and back into public." In Cambridge, poetry has been lifted off the page and stamped directly into the ground. Since 2015, the annual Cambridge Sidewalk Poetry Contest has been soliciting poems from residents and choosing five winners — the victorious poems are stamped into fresh concrete throughout the city. This year 336 poems were submitted, although not all the submissions met the guidelines. That's an increase from the 252 submitted last year. The contest was paused in 2021 due to the pandemic. When asked what she hopes happens when someone stumbles across a poem on the sidewalk, Lillian Hsu, director of Public Art for Cambridge Arts, said: "That they pause. Maybe wonder. Read it. Share it. Keep in mind that location in front of that school or library, there's a poem there. And come back again because many people are walking the same route every day. I think the sidewalk is not just a surface, but it's a whole space... it's a social space, an economic space, a cultural space, and so I think the impact is across time." GUESTS Amanda Shea, Boston-based multidisciplinary artist, educator and publicist Lillian Hsu, director of Public Art at Cambridge Arts Elisa New, Powell M. Cabot professor of American Literature at Harvard University, director and host of PBS's Poetry in America, and director of the Center for Public Humanities at Arizona State University

When poet Amanda Gorman was 5 years old, she was already in the habit of waking up before dawn to write; her mother paid her a quarter each morning she stayed in bed past 6 a.m. Poetry became Amanda's outlet for exploring history and her own experiences. Her talents have taken her from serving as the first National Youth Poet Laureate to reciting her poem, “The Hill We Climb,” at President Joe Biden's inauguration. Amanda joined David to talk about her mother's influence, working through her childhood speech impediment, the importance of representation in poetry and literature, writing for the inauguration following the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol, poetry as the language of the people, and her presidential aspirations.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Amanda Gorman captivated a global audience last week as she delivered her poem, The Hill We Climb, at the inauguration. And, a new presidential administration is tasked with rebuilding trust as the country aims to mitigate risk associated with the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. What lessons can communications learn from the inaugural poem and the COVID-19 vaccine rollout?Gorman, a 22-year-old Harvard grad, became the youngest inaugural poet ever, joining the likes of Robert Frost and Maya Angelou. Why was her message of national unity while reflecting on the fragile state of the country so impactful? What role did social media play in elevating her message to a global audience? And, what are the key takeaways from her poem that businesses can use to identify and develop effective messaging? Then, a New York Times article suggests that “we're underselling the vaccine.” Why? Early on during the COVID-19 pandemic, many health experts — in the U.S. and around the world — decided that the public could not be trusted to hear the truth about masks. Instead, the experts spread a misleading message, discouraging the use of masks. While their motivation was mostly good, the message was still a mistake and it confused people. Now a version of the mask story is repeating itself — this time involving the vaccines. Once again, the experts don't seem to trust the public to hear the full truth. How can communications professionals, healthcare workers and the government collaborate to help rebuild trust and transparency with the public? Music Credit:Smoke (with Lostboycrow) – FeatherConnect with The Business Communicators on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn, and find out more about our show at TheBusinessCommunicators.com.

Amanda Gorman became the youngest inaugural poet when she delivered her poem “The Hill We Climb” at President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s inauguration. In 2018, Gorman joined CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz to discuss her love of poetry and the power of the form. Gorman details for Diaz her technique for writing poetry and how Maya Angelou inspired her to overcome a speech impediment. Plus, why she intents to run for president in 2036. At the time, the twenty-year-old Harvard University junior had just been named National Youth Poet Laureate and had written a special Thanksgiving poem for the "CBS This Morning" broadcast.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
