AMAZING GIFTED BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY GOD BLESS HER

[brownkarre1]

absolutely amazing

[TheBahdO1]

Tears to my eyes. Strength to her words. Pain in my soul. Condolences to her grandmother.

[writingchic123]

This spoken word touches my heart! Every word she spoke reaches a place in my soul i never knew was there! She reminds me of when my nana had a stroke! i was nothing without her and now God has healed her. I want Zora to know that God will heal!

[TheCornertheater]

will you marry me

[AshleyNoelleH]

Wow. BEAUTIFUL!

[zinestrokes]

god damn...this is just too powerful

[Gundryn]

Chillsssssss. For all the nanas.

[AkireLotus]

This is not simply poetry.... this is transparent truth crying out from the depths of this young woman's soul. All I could say was Wow. Intensely beautiful... never stop letting your heart be heard.

[calliefornia96]

I had to take a few minutes after this was over to catch my breath. Powerful stuff, right there. I wish my nana was still here. She would have loved this.

[lovetobehiswifey15]

all i can say is wat a God givin gift!!!! continue share it sweetheart

[newsoundfactory]

Amazing.

[singingislove2]

Absolutely brilliant. The way she speaks and transforms the poem into a story is amazing. She has definitely found her calling and what she is born to do. Powerful, more than words. Love it :)

[poeticaksu]

You're a beautiful inspiration :)

[JovNBee]

My bad, I was looking for Zora...still dope piece tho.

[JovNBee]

That was absolutely amazing! Rythmic and not rhyme-timey. Powerful. Clever and I'm a big fan of clever. I was drawn in well before we got to the heart of the piece and then we went passed the heart to the heart beat and then all that clever got mixed with passion and frustration. That was off the hook...I am about to check your page and hope you reside in So Cal and are interested in some mic sessions. Be blessed.

[classyassbytch]

does anybody have the lyrics to this?

[MilkDuddz09]

I love her. She is my favorite poet...

[982010love]

[BabyGirl22497]

@dijah104 no lolz mine is like dhat but its on the left that's working

[TheNinjaboi333]

i wonder why this has audio in my right ear an not my left (its not because my headphones are bad when i go to another vid they both play)

[cdjblue52]

This young girl is phenomenal!! Who is she?

[LhalaluvzJanet]

@cdjblue52 Zora Howard

[Daizy10231023]

She Reminds me of Zora Neale Hurston, she has a sing-song like, rolling 120's or 1930's accent. Very dope.

[ZAlUiMi]

she sounds like she has an african accent .

[Lyndsie15]

Whats up with the camera going down her body at 1:30? I don't understand.

[TheNinjaboi333]

@Lyndsie15 yea i dont either .... 

[monkkeyeffinrox]

@Lyndsie15 i was thinkin the same thing

[iradgray]

@Lyndsie15 she's gesturing and camera goes to down to capture her hands' movements.

[jaykissesgirlz]

@Lyndsie15 I think they were trying to show how her hands are making fists so you know she is really being intense... or something.

[29psalm]

@Lyndsie15 i think they messed up with that. but i love her work.

[MoDizzle92377]

@Lyndsie15 you know it has to be a guy holding the camera.

[Lyndsie15]

@MoDizzle92377 I agree. Lol. And for another guy to say that for everyone to see... you know its true.

[retta006]

@Lyndsie15 maybe to capture some of the force she was using with her hands...thats what i was thinking anyways.

[ak102097]

@Lyndsie15 I think it was him trying to show her hand motions.....just a thought

[Raventat]

@Lyndsie15 they are trying to show her hands and how they are moving

[bionikspoon]

@Lyndsie15 I think it's a cheap tripod. That started to slip. Or a perv camera man >.>

[lboo29]

I'm sure this is a good poem, but it's not playing for me :-( :-(

[PrincessNicolee]

no sound! or is it just me ?

[Kwissyball123]

prayin with you girl!!!!

[boogieC13]

how old is she ? she's fantastic :)

[classyassbytch]

does anybody have the lyrics to this poem?

[songchild313]

She reminds me of Phylicia Rashaad. Beautiful.

[shadowboifire]

@songchild313 yo i was jus thinkin that

[LhalaluvzJanet]

@songchild313 I thought the same :)

[lenormg1]

@songchild313 Just like Phylicia..strong tho

[JaMystry]

@songchild313 thats what I said 2 :D

[funlog2]

I love how she reminded us of Bi-Racial Hair.

[Kenya101]

...And Loretta Devine.

[Kenya101]

@Kenya101 And Kerry Washington. damn.

[Kenya101]

At totally different points of this poem she reminds me of Aja Monet, Jurnee Smollett, Lynn Whitfield, and Cicely Tyson. All powerful, beautiful women.

[capricornsign22]

"--Hole. Rabbit Hole. Alice, I am. Where are my wonders? I am not wonderful."

INCREDIBLE line out of an already INCREDIBLE poem.

[harrisongirl18]

Very nice. Best work i vave heard in a long time

Best poem by far that I've heard. Almost had me crying. It was touching, and deep. I hope this poem isn't true, but if it is, I will pray for you and yours. God bless.
