Let's hear it for Gordon, NE representing on this stage. Aliyah American Horse is a poet to watch. Congratulations to Stephanie, as a NY transplant with parents from the Bronx, NY I bet you could hear me cheering through the screen. 😎😎😎 POWER TO THE POETS ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

The new young poet to become the 24/25 Laureate did some really solid work, beautifully performed. I have no connection to this contest other than being a lifetime poet myself. Ms. Pacheco earned the honour and I look forward to listening to Stephanie well into her future. Warm congratulations Stephanie, & do enjoy the coming year, every second of it!
