This episode of the Dream Big Podcast is inspired by Amanda Gorman, the nation’s first Youth Poet Laureate. Most of the world first witnessed the greatness of Amanda Gorman at the Presidential Inauguration, when she delivered her masterpiece of a poem The Hills We Climb. Amanda was so poised, so confident, so riveting in her delivery that I’m sure you would have never guessed that she spent most of her life struggling with a speech impediment. Into her teen years, Amanda had great difficulty pronouncing the letter R. So how did Amanda overcome this obstacle and deliver one of the most celebrated public speaking performances in recent history? Eva explores Amanda’s journey and shares how Amanda transformed this perceived “weakness” into her greatest strength. Thank you Amanda for inspiring a nation with The Hills We Climb, and for inspiring all the Big Dreamers with strength and courage to overcome this speech impediment so you can share your unique gift with the world.
