It's really motivating and immersive. I liked the way Ruby Bridges' story was told.

[MaquiaReal]

They should make this into a movie. Very inspirational. ❤

[anekiecampbell]

[OctoRuler]

"Sussiness levels detected" i love this animation lmao

[JulienKalume_tv]

Hey just here and this give me an extra layer of confidence, i m myself a virtiligo person, same as for maya, and really at the beginning it was hard to keep in public, the way people could look at me, it made me feel as if i m not in right spot, but once i understood that i have to be myself and accept that i m same as everybody, it's when i got to do first steps, really like this

[DonP_is_lostagain]

[morganelzey]

This is amazing! Everybody needs to see this! 🥲🥰

[KingsleyAkahoho-xgfx]

I think you need to do another video on this story, it is very nice 🥰

[saltplayz]

Hello, hi I was first going to dislike your video but then i saw good ending so here's a like! ❤

[carmencitahaislop]

My favorite part was the ruby bridges song❤

[wakeangel]

That is a very poorly designed game if it won't even start up without friends already queued

[Apophis]

Very touching story with a decent morale. But forcing a person out of their shell.. usually doesn't work like this.
Also.. it felt kinda wrong of that guide bot to call a random kid he found in a closet chickadee.. Or is that just me?

[worldwide_community]

Hey CG I would like to ask if I could have permission to upload this video onto my website to help Inspire others I will use credits to show that you were the Creator and I'll have a link to go to the video on YouTube if that is okay with you

[canalraphtaliagacha]
