In a remarkable achievement, 23-year-old poet Amanda Green, a Harvard graduate, has made history by becoming the first poet to appear on the cover of “Vogue” magazine. Following her breathtaking performance of “The Hill We Climb” at the Inauguration, Green’s presence has been felt everywhere, solidifying her status as a national treasure. She described the cover shoot as “a dream,” reflecting the stunning visuals captured by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz.
In her Facebook post celebrating this milestone, Green expressed gratitude, stating, “The first poet ever on the cover of @voguemagazine. I am eternally grateful & do not expect to be the last—for what is poetry if not beauty?” Her cover ensemble, designed by the trailblazing Black designer, Jordan Black, pays homage to her roots.
Green’s feature isn’t just about her; she emphasizes that it’s a tribute to everyone who has supported her along the way. She fondly mentioned how her mother helped style her hair for the shoot, adding a personal touch to the experience. After her remarkable Inauguration performance, Green signed a modeling contract, which she noted had been in the works prior to that day. She counts influential figures like the Obamas and Hillary Clinton as mentors, affectionately referring to Barack as “dad-like” and Michelle as “the cool auntie.”
Despite her rising fame, Green remains grounded, sharing her love for pop culture, including “Hamilton” and “Harry Potter.” She even dreams of running for president one day. However, she is discerning about her endorsements, having turned down approximately $17 million in offers that did not align with her values. “I have to be conscious of taking commissions that speak to me,” she explained.
Looking ahead, Green has two books set to release in September—“Voices of Change: A Children’s Anthem” and “The Hill We Climb and Other Poems.” Given her track record, it’s no surprise they’re already topping bestseller lists.
