The first poet ever on the cover of @voguemagazine, she proudly captioned an Instagram post celebrating the magazine cover. I am eternally grateful & do not expect to be the last for what is poetry if not beauty? What a joy to do this cover while wearing a piece designed by groundbreaking Black designer @virgilabloh that honors my heritage.
The National Youth Poet Laureate continued, It was a dream to be photographed by the indomitable @annieleibovitz & styled by @gabriellak j, who literally would carry me on her back & forth between set. Wow, my hands are shaking with love.
The poet laureate once again lit up Twitter with her original work.
