Hi again,
I had to send this Comment a second Time, because UA-cam gets slightly complicated to use sometimes. I was supposed to add the "Timeline Link" to a Section of this Video, but I had forgotten to add it because that Link wasn't available at the Time.
Anyway. Here's my Comment for the second Time, I hope I didn't cause any Inconvenience:
I "Absolutely LOVE Paulina Alexis and Elizabeth Solomon", for "upholding their Indigenous Native American Roots". I "Especially and Absolutely Love" Elizabeth Solomon's "African-like Features, Demeanor and Speech". You go Girl! 👏🏿
I just have one Enquiry. Would you be able to grant me Permission to screen record this Section of the above Video please?
3:43
I "Absolutely love Elizabeth's Speech", in this Section of the Video and I "can't even put it on Repeat". That's a "little saddening".
Moving forward. The Reason I want to put that Section of the Video on Repeat, is because of how "Absolutely POWERFUL it is".
This Comment was written with the kindest of Regards
