This spot for United Way features America’s first Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman. Working with Amanda was an incredible privilege. As a writer, it was both an incredible learning experience and a pretty daunting ask - Hey Ben, for this project, you’ll be writing alongside America’s Youth Poet Laureate. Don’t sweat it. Ultimately, it was a super collaborative process, and I think the finished product speaks for itself, in no small part due to her staggering talent.
