    14:51 "I'm not a celebrity. I am an African person before being a celebrity. And my father never said that just because I am a woman, I cannot have an opinion." God bless this woman.

    Angelique that was such an amazing interview. You said it all and you nailed it. Africa is responsible for its actions, but the richer countries are are more responsible for the negatives things happening in Africa. I wonder how they will (richer countries) survive without Africa. I just wonder.

    Watching this is 2020.. and Wow...
    This woman has spoken so much truth. The media has a lot of negative things to say about Africa. Of course there is some truth to what is being shown in the media but a lot of it always seem to be extremely exaggerated. A lot of poverty and negative things are happening in east Europe and Asia as well but it's almost never broadcasted in the same way.
    The truth is that the African continent is extremely beautiful and so are the african people. It's wildlife, landscapes and natural resources are unlike any other. And for many years this continent has nurtured and supplied the western world to become what it is today. But who cares to share that in the media right? The most beautiful treasures of the world has been found in Africa and exportet to the west. I can only hope for this negative image of Africa to change and for people around the world to gain more knowledge and information and not believe everything that is being shown by the media.

    what a beautiful, brave, eloquent, intelligent, spiritual and talented woman you are angelique! you are so right - i truly believe that there will never be peace in the world until all there is equality between men and women - and african women are SO strong - your background reminds me of malala - she too has a strong supportive father who believed in the importance of equal education for women - thus forming her into the strong girl she is today . and i totally agree with you about the negative picture the media paint of africa where i have always found beauty, strength and music - your music!
