We don't talk enough about how Trevor Noah's daily show really uplifts Black/African women. As a Southern African person, I appreciate it. I wouldn't have known about some of these people otherwise. Thank you everyone.

She is so awkwardly funny I love it! Such a cool actress. Loved her in The Bear! Big things coming her way for sure.

"I felt at home with you right here" that's how Trevor truly feels every time he interviews an African. I can feel it.
