    OMG! I kept wondering what I was watching, and then I kept watching. She is a real hoot! Very funny lady. She has an awesome message at the end.

    For those of you who don’t know who she is I highly recommend reading her books-they are effing hilarious. Full of southern charm and great recipes. She’s a gem 💎

    I'm at a point in my life that I really needed to hear this. I've never heard of this woman or the Sweet Potato Queens before, but I already love her/them.

    Here because my coworker got me into the SPQ books years ago. Never binged a set of books so fast. Thank you!

    Okay. Not so bad. There were a dozen times I thought I should just click away from here, but I stayed. She's okay with me. I took away something positive. I need laughter sometimes.
    No, it's not click bait - Just a little something a bit lighter then what some folks were looking for.
    Kudos to you, Sweet Potatoe Queen :)

    I really like her. She is super funny and she's also very honest. I didn't understand what I was watching at first, but I took away something positive. The world right now is such a mess, we are all so stressed and uptight, we all need that reminder that it's okay to let our guards down once in a while, and be silly and have fun. Also, I loved her accent!

    I have loved this woman for 20 years. She's my hero and as I rediscover her, this day, as I purchase her books on Audible, having all that were available in hardback, in paperback, on cassette then on cd now electronic versions, I am laughing out loud. crying from gratitude and struggling to contain my need to buy the first book for all the new women in my life, the solitary quarantined, the funny, smart, acerbic, brave and no longer lonely of social media, old crones all.
    Find a way to play. Yes, ma'am, My Hero SPQ, yes ma'am.

    Enjoyed it with the best smile 'I' was able to produce ... only 3278 views, I thought, such a shame, because THIS IS THE BEST CLIP I'VE SEEN ABOUT PRO ACTIVE LIVING AND NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING ... a little voice behind my right ear whispers: "maybe something to do next year ..." Yes ma'am, I'll put it on my next bucket list ...

    I get it! I am 5 foot two, long red hair, green eyes biggish boobs...but i cant sing.
    and...i always thought i should be a tall blonde. i would love to be a sweet potato queen we have wild purple ones here (in Hawaii)
    i am also basically unemployable, so i always have to start my own companies. i am fifty something, and i plan on starting one in 2018 in a few days. But i much rather be a sweet potato queen.
    Miss Browne, please send me an application. the only new skill i learned this year is having most my friends die and only go bananas for a short time.
    p.s. i have seen all the good bands and can name that tune in onenote and know all the lyrics to every great rock song from the late 60s till 1980..

      To do whatever it is that will bring you, and others, joy. No matter what that may be, however ridiculous it may seem. She found something she could commit to that made her happy. "Playing" and doing whatever makes your heart sing is the most important thing. Especially when you're looking back in life. If you could take anything away from it, let it be that.
