This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen with her, completely open and vulnerable

[@niablee]

I get so emotional seeing her so vulnerable and unapologetically herself! It’s beyond refreshing and love her commitment to want to open up the door for Black women creatives. Awesome interview!

[@IDEAGENERATIONOFFICIAL]

she's amazing! Thanks for watching, Nia!

[@igobyxoxomusicunderaxlprks9000]

Grandpa promoter for Marvin Gaye, and connected to Janelle Monet, and Earth Wind and Fire...bruh, I'm glad she carved her own lane and took advantage of the resources available to her and where she saw a need, she studied it and filled the void

[@baileybutterfly320]

You can be a relative doesn’t mean you have relent or a relationship...

[@hasiatabubakari8075]

She's got positive energy. Such a brilliant young lady!

Success doesn't always involve college..Why ask about college...people go to college to get where she already is🥴guy interviewing asking a billion questions..I love the fact that she wants to lead other black young girls to greatness by inspiring ❤️ we love you..& ty for showing positive vibes..

[@anonymousfish7010]

It's an interview.... he's supposed to ask millions of questions about her, even college, because that's what the world is curious about.

[@danielle592]

A truly phenomenal young lady. 😄

[@IDEAGENERATIONOFFICIAL]

[@seanirl7738]

Another great interview from you. For sure one of my favorite interviewers/producers. Keep up the good work. Been paying attention to what you do for a while now. You keep putting out hits.

[@TyBalance]

This was so inspiring ❤ thank you

[@igobyxoxomusicunderaxlprks9000]

For those of you who don't know, this young lady is 17. I can not imagine what is in store for her, but she's probably going to take the Tyler Perry route,, but fortunately, about 50 years sooner than him. Fun Fact: Tyler Perry was homeless and someone decided they would love him and take him and his friends in and give them a chance. it is important to note, to anybody dreaming and working, everyone who "made it" had someone who said "alright, come along and come on in". dont let anyone tell you that they just were that good.. everyone had someone vouch for them and bring them into the fold. LOVEDREAM baby! stay up!

[@chibanni14]

I just noticed that this channel only makes videos of people that are incredibly repulsive looking. It’s kind of mean to do that
