    This has to be the BEST TED TALK I have ever heard. Neselaa speaks so well. I was moved and entertained. I would love to see her back. I have watched this over and over. It touched me and made me think about my own life. WOW....when is the next one?

    I'm so convicted. Yes, stop hiding and do what I really need and want to do. We need to talk. You are amazing. Your attorney skills really show through as well. That experience helped you to be such a phenomenal speaker. You know how to engage and capture the attention of an audience. I love it! You're amazing, sweetheart!❤❤❤😢🎉:

    This was amazing to listen to. I felt right there in the moments you shared and am able to relate in my own way. Long term shame carries much weight and we don’t even realize it’s on us at times until we are faced with it and smack down by its gravity. I love you live in your truth and made the most of you experiences. There is a blessing in every lesson. And your blessing will not now be someone’s blessing. Thank you for sharing.

    First, let's get into the stunning outfit choice! YES! Such an important topic to speak on. At about 5:38 into video is where I see Nselaa stand up. Your voice still resonates poetry and poeticism in it's tones. Memorable!

    Thank you for this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Highlighting shame is a reminder of how so many grapple with the mental anguish of shame and take on maladaptive behaviors as a result. This often diminishes one from living their truth out loud and expressing their full potential. This hit home and hard. To say I am proud of you is an understatement. The world needs this medicine. Releasing shame deeply rooted in trauma which shows up in how we show up in the world due to stigma, judgment and both personal and societal insecurities is death to the spirit. This is a rally call for healing and I deeply accept and commit to releasing shame which hinders my greatness. Love you dearly and deeply Nselaa! You are a jewel to the world and your words are a gift to the soul🙌🏾🦋👏🏾👑

    It's amazing how vulnerable you allow yourself to be. I get it while I'm not the biggest fan of prostitution or anything related to it, I can see your plight and how you overcame so much and this is a part of your story. It's really very impactful and challenging to people like me who abore the topic and now have to remove the rose color from our glasses to dig deeper and look at this from your perspective.
    This is her journey and look what fire it out for her. Also, the terrible child trafficking story the alienation... So much to unpack but the triumph is massive. That is a lot to go through as a woman and THEN have to raise your own children.
    You are truly amazing. More over you are truly going to help so many people with this story.

    To be honest…the moment you opened your mouth and spoke I felt tears begin to immediately trickle down my cheeks. I am so deeply moved and stirred by your words, your voice and your story. Powerful and empowering are only two aspects of what is being done here. I am utterly honored and stand amazed at your delivery, your words and your confidence. I am, also, truly and tremendously blessed by your releasing and sharing. Thank you, sister, for sharing…for standing…for speaking. My prayer is that many will find healing and come across this Ted Talk in their journey. I know I have. God bless you.

    I was captivated during the entire Ted talk. The beginning grabbed my attention, the grip wasn’t loosened until completion. I’ve never been totally taken for words awaiting the next paragraph, sentence…word. The content was spoken in a manner as if I were there following every action.

    What a great speech I just heard, this should motivate us to continue fighting day by day and overcome the obstacles that come our way no matter what size it is, always trust in God that better things will come for each one of us, without a doubt women are warriors and listening to this person fills my heart with being able to trust myself and achieve my goals.
