Smith as the 22nd Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry. Though young, Gorman has already amassed a plethora of accolades and accomplishments in writing.
Gorman turned to writing at an early age to cope with her speech impediment . At age 14, Gorman joined WriteGirl, an L.A.-based nonprofit organization that helps empower teenage girls through creative writing. Throughout her high school years, Gorman found her voice by attending WriteGirl’s monthly creative writing workshops and was matched with writing mentors for one-on-one mentoring.
