She needs her own youtube news channel, I'll tune in everyday! 😂😂

[williebrown]

She's a beautiful intelligent woman but her most attractive quality is her mind and her confidence that's something Victoria secret doesn't have in stock

[daniellucas]

How these young people say: "She understood the assignment!"

[MichaelHierl]

I’m 23, watch the news everyday, and try to stay more in tune than most people my age and I STILL didn’t understand the Ukraine thing until she broke it down.

[Christina-rbvk]

Actually, Black people have been explaining politics like this for years! This is hood talk, down to earth where an average person can understand.

'If you ain't had no hair on your chest BEFORE you got on the force, I PROMISE you your uniform don't come wit one!' Sister speaking facts!! You better say that shit!! LOL

[tyronnhamilton]

She was on point. I love what she’s doing and that you’re sharing it with us here.

[TinkerBellLace]

Thank you for spotlighting her! This was amazing, she definitely breaks it down for us to understand.

“You not gonna bust a grape” 😂😂😂😂 Have not heard that term in years! 🤣👍🏾

[yukikowu]

If I had a teacher like her when I was in school, I would have been more interested in what I was learning.

[SuperAngelGlow]

Politics, law and heathcare were created to be purposely complicated to confuse the indigent. Glad she is making sense of this for the average person. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[kgee]

I scream at “continuation classes in the hood” every time I see the video. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Love her!!!!

[adriennefenner]

She’s SO incredibly articulate. For whatever reason I thought she was a history teacher. She’s a Brilliant woman ♥️

[TL-ycnl]

Love her! Back in the day, her label would have been either fake, boughetto, or ghetto. Now code switching is acceptable. TImes have definitely changed. She's a smart young lady.

[Deedee-rbwi]

She breaks it down and makes it plain for a lot of people. She's better then the news reporters

[TDott-vclj]

Know your audience one... And two, be concise! Love her energy and that she is not just shouting her opinion but stating FACTS!

[HorusTheGrey_]

She is pure gold..I never understood what was going on fully and once I watched her video I'm like

[Calinotch]

She needs a YouTube, she could make 10-30 min segments explaining current events.

[Chicanery]

Einstein says, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." 😉. Many don't understand her because she is speaking to a particular demographic. She is properly informing the leaders of tomorrow. She obviously knows the material back and forth! Others will berate her for her choice of language and write her off because of it. But she knows it better than the pros who can't break it down for the everyday citizen. Keep in mind that the news is written on a grade school level to help speak to the masses. So why can't she do the same? Amazing woman, leader, and intellectual!

I love how the women reporter suggested A. B. do a video about the voting rights controversy! This young lady is brilliant and creative.
