“I remember how close Michelle Obama was to me,” Gorman said. “And she kept yelling at Barack, like,“ Stop hugging people. Stop getting too close to people. And then, when I finished (reading the poem), she kind of pushed him away and hugged me tightly. "
Gorman also told how she met the ex-president's family even before her historic speech at Biden's inauguration.
“I've met Michelle several times already,” she said. “But not with Barack. And whenever I meet Michelle, I hope that she will forget about meeting me, because I just want to start over. I just want a clean slate. But she always remembers and she is always great. "
In addition, the poetess shared her thoughts on how her performance at the inauguration influenced her life: “To some extent, I understand that I went down in history as the youngest inaugural poet. I really didn't know what this story would look like or what impact it would have. I just remember how I finished, went back to my waiting room and just clicked on Instagram, [asking] "I wonder what people are saying." But my apps, my phone didn't work. All the applications that I used to use are out of order, ”she says.
