    Wow look at the mind of a 16 year old... Imagine if every 16year old could think like her wow all I can say is her parents did an amazing job

      So many more do, but we adults suppress them or refuse to truly listen to them. I meet hundreds of them every year.

    She broke down why media affects biases so well.Anyone that could look at Yara's breakdown and they say they don't get it must be trying not to.

    I could listen to her talk all day
    And I’m 100% serous I could quite literally sit in a room all day and just listen to her elegant way of speaking

    I love her why can't there be more ppl like her on social media instead of Kylie Jenner or azelia banks

      Paloma Hunter Azalea Banks is smart but unfortunately she chooses to spend all her energy on negative things and people, if she did what Yara did more people would give her the recognition she deserves. Plus I do think she’s dealing with personal stuff on which she lashes out on, she needs to learn calmness and humbleness. Plus she’s just like her mom who also lashes out on people

    nice speech! really hit on a lot of important dynamics of diversity on screen. media is the most influential form of communication today. what we see on screen has profound effects on society at large. you ended your speech with something like, 'does art reflect society or does art effect society?' are there ulterior motives at work within the film industry when it comes to diversity on screen? a powerful tool the media is in this day and age... watch the trends... i dont think they're accidents.

    yara shahidi is so inspiring, she is so mature, and beautiful. I look up to her so much and hope to be like her when I am older. She is trying to make a difference at such a young age. She graudated at age 18, she is so smart and independent and I hope one day before or during or even after my days of fame (which I hope happens lol:}) I get to meet her and talk to her. I love her so much, she is a true queen.

    this is amazing! but i was wondering if you could please add captions so that it's more accesible for d/Deaf/HoH people, and as well as for people whose first language isn't english so reading the words is easier and more understandable? it would be super helpful thanks
