Fear not! My gorgeous young sister, your poem was phenomenal. Our world may be in complete disarray, but your words marinate down the souls of many people who stand on the side of righteousness, equality, peace and love. It is an honor to adjust your crown 👑 Be encouraged, stay focused, safe and always blessed 🙏🏾. Sending prayers from Los Angeles

It sucks that such an inspiring speech was given during the inauguration of a systematically racist plutocrat

I didn't like her poem because it didn't speak to the reality of this country or the truth about the old man currently in the whitehouse.
