Inaugural Poet Amanda Gorman Followed By A Security Guard, Who Said She Looked Suspicious

The poet, who is 22, “wrote on Twitter that a security guard ‘tailed’ her while she was walking home Friday night. ‘He demanded if I lived there because ‘you look suspicious.’ I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building,’ Gorman wrote. ‘He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.'” – Slate
