During the inauguration of President Joe Biden, she expressed her admiration for the national youth poet laureate who mesmerized the entire nation.

In her opinion, the poet laureate not only stood out as the youngest, but also had the strongest voice in that momentous occasion.
Jolie recited a statement made by Gorman that goes like this: “A 7-year-old girl with speech difficulties, who describes herself as having buck teeth, kinky hair, and a speech impediment.”
It was a heartwarming sight when Angelina embraced Amanda tightly before she walked onto the stage. It truly was a nice moment to witness.
Amanda looked gorgeous in her pink gown while addressing the audience. She spent countless hours writing in her journal on the school bus and park bench, struggling with language, trying to understand the meaning and find rhymes, and even creating her own dictionary. All this hard work has shaped her into the confident woman she is today. Jolie praised Amanda for her talent in refining words and expressing them to the masses, which can bring people together.
