    Liked the video at "men ruin everything" and subscribed at "the history of this country pisses me off". Researching an upcoming DC trip and this video was a breath of fresh air 😆

    Thanks for this vlog girl… The story time was hilarious. Anyway, I literally just booked a hotel in Washington D.C. for next month, and now I’m on the search for places to go, and things to do but I’ll def be checking out that African American Museum!
