We never see bigger youtubers like Zoe, Pewdiepie etc. talk about matters like syria. Someone needs to- and im so glad people like you and Tanya are using your platform to gain awareness x
I am so happy you raised awareness, and I'm so disappointed in other huge youtubers, public figures, celebrities and the media for staying silent. It's just shocking how a gorilla dies and people protest, and 400,000 Syrians have been brutally murdered and the world is silent. Thank you for using your platform to spread a message.
niomi can't just do what the rest of the world wants she is human she deserves more than to worry about the world and trying to sort out the rest of the worlds problems
Niomi, you are an angel. I have so much respect for your kind spirit. You truly embody what it means to be beautiful inside and out. It is so important that you not feel guilty for living the life you do. You have this reach and voice for a reason, and it speaks volumes about how deeply compassionate you are through raising awareness about this heart breaking tragedy. Your voice has a powerful ripple effect. I can only imagine what would happen if every influencer spoke up about these issues. Thank you. I love you.
Thank you so much for using your large platform to raise awareness on the crisis in Syria. You are a TRUE sweetheart Niomi. I can't help but wonder why even bigger RUclipsrs like Tanya and Zoe have not used their platform to bring awareness to this heartbreaking situation 💔
And thank you for leaving all of those donation links for people to help out. Besides Niomi, the only other popular beauty guru that I'm aware of who was brave enough to speak about this crisis on one of her actual RUclips videos is Dulce Candy. If only every RUclipsr with a big platform could be as caring as Niomi and Dulce to discuss these important issues - how much of a positive difference that would make in this cruel world 💔
Zoe won't because her and Alfie insist on having this super childish persona they present? Always acting really naive and childish. It's their choice I guess, and it appeals to their demographic - very young girls.
The Dom just because they are fun people doesn't mean they aren't going to show kindness and help suffering people. they are not stupid they know what's happening in the world. u don't know that they aren't going to help
Niomi, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing to raise awareness of this tragic situation and not choosing to ignore it. It is the sad reality and thank you for making vlogmas a accurate representation of an unfortunate reality...Love you lots 😘❤️ X
Thank you Niomi, finally someone raising awareness about this on youtube! I've seen a lot of people speaking out and raising awareness on Instagram but it is shocking what a huge crime is being committed against humanity right now, and for the past few months/years. I can't understand what is goes through the minds of people doing these horrific things, I wish there was more we could do but I hope donating will be enough for now.
Dear Niomi, I can't tell you how happy it made me that you chose to talk about Aleppo in your vlog. I've seriously been feeling the same way for a couple of days now, and I feel so helpless and angry. I've been crying a lot and I also started crying watching this, because I hate not being able to do anything but pray and spread awareness on social media. But what I'm feeling is nothing compared to what the innocent people of Aleppo and Syria are going through. I was really hoping that more people with a big following would talk about this major issue, so I can't tell you how much I appreciate you spreading so much awareness. I hope and pray that one day we all can live in a world where we don't weigh the importance of lives depending on nationality, religion etc., and where our little children get to live in peace. Thank you
We have harboured so many refugees here in Germany and so many of them still have families in Aleppo and have no idea if they're still alive. It kills me just hearing about this and I hate that the European governments aren't doing anything!
Hi there, may I ask someone from Germany if islamophobia is bad there? Thinking of visiting but with the state of the world, it's really scary, hope you dont mind me asking. :)
I believe we are and you may mark my question as a question of ignorance as I have never travelled out of Asia so the media got me feeling wary. That's great to hear as I would really love to visit Germany! Thank you. :)
Niomi its just so heart warming to see you teary-eyed and speak about syria and aleppo. no one even bothers mentioning. whatever you said is so true. the world has turned a blind eye to them.everyday i feel so frustrated and clueless about why it has to continue this way. the amount of influence you have on people is enormous and the fact that you used your channel to speak on behalf of them makes me love you even more. you are a wonderful person. hugs. God bless xx
I have always loved niomi but I now respect her, having courage to raise awareness for such a big thing regardless of all the hate she could receive is absolutely amazing. Keep doing you niomi, all the Syrians watching would appreciate everything you have done!!
Niomi you're so amazing. I myself was sitting down yesterday deciding which eye-shadow palette to ask for for Christmas when I heard the news and it makes me so upset to think that there could be another 18 year old girl in Aleppo with the same interests and passions and dreams as me, but while I sat contemplating my eyeshadow, she was terrified that she was going to die. It really hit me hard and I didn't know what I could do to help until now. But I've asked my parents, instead of spending €50 on an eyeshadow palette for me for Christmas, if they would donate that €50 to an organisation that could help the people of Aleppo out. I know €50 might not make a huge difference but its better than nothing. I'm also hoping that the organisation thats sending clothes to Aleppo can be sent clothes from here in Ireland as well as the UK. So thank you Niomi for speaking out about this crisis and providing the information about where we can donate xx
This is why I'm so glad I'm following you. YOU are very aware and it's amazing that you use your platform to bring awareness. There are many you tubers that block themselves from topics like this because they don't want to "be negative" and have a positive channel but to have such a big following and influence is incredible. If I had a huge following I would want to bring awareness to my followers. Bringing awareness to issues DOES make a difference. To each their own I guess. But anyways, you are very admirable. Thanks for your little speech :)
Man, as an Arab Muslim I truuuuuuuuuly want to say thank you for talking about it. We are quite used to not being in the news unless it's bad, and that's just the way it is. Idk why our blood seems very cheap, but if it wasn't for oil, no one would acknowledge our existence. Syria has been in a state of revolution since 2011, but the past few days have witnessed a serious crackdown on Aleppo, and unfortunately for Syrians, since the world cannot gain anything from it, it turns a blind eye. Having you speak on it and hopefully raising awareness to your following is really helpful and appreciated. May we see a day in the future the world talks of the middle east in a way better state.
Also, as long as you do your part which is either by donating or raising awareness, you should know that there is nothing more in your power to do, and that you shouldn't feel guilty. There are only so much we have control over.
Such right words about Syria! I'm glad that at least now people are talking about it.. because it has been going on for 4 YEARS, 4 years of near to complete silence...
I have so much respect for you for discussing this when so many others that have a public platform choose not to address issues like this. God bless. x
ccap3211 it's a proxy war of superpowers being fought in Syria. Russia is backing the Syrian government and the US and NATO is backing the rebels. They're also using the regional powers like turkey, Iran, Saudi etc. So yes it is very much a world war.
Omg i just cried when she talked about Aleppo, 😢😢 I feel a shame when i live in my good life and people in somewhere lives like that , let's together help them 🙏🙏😢
thank you niomi for talking bout this.. unlike other mainstream youtubers who completely ignore the topic. its not something we should be ignoring and rather talking about and bringing awareness to a situation like this to support those who are in our need. so again, thank you.
This is just so lovely! As a Muslim seeing a person who has such a huge platform and so many followers on social media, standing for simply what is humane, is just amazing! I thank you for being so real and down to earth, addressing the real life issues we face as humanity! I am sure you will have a way more greater future, beautiful souls like you must be up successful and ... just ... real! I honestly never comment anywhere, but I just had to say what I feel now. Thank you , Niomi! 💛
I truly sincerely respect you for what you did to help them, to even mention them....its heartbreaking how the media just decided to not give them coverage....this makes me cry
Niomi u are my hero and the world doesn't deserve such a beautiful soul like u , trust me by those tears u are helping bc u feel how much they are suffering, not just Aleppo lots of countries but they are all in hevean and justice will rise no matter what, we have to pray , donate and feel , that's all we can do
Niomi, the fact that you said that you feel guilty for the lifestyle you have when others are suffering is such a testament to your character. Keep doing what your doing and you'll find your avenue to help those in need x
What a woman. What an inspiration. What an incredible role model. You are so outstandingly great Niomi, doing what you do and have done, is EVERYTHING. You out of all people should be able to sleep and live with no regrets and knowing that you have done all you could, because you my friend, are amazing.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, for raising awareness and actually providing ways to actively help those in Aleppo. Too many talk about whats going on and fail to take action.
i'm a student so i don't have much of an income but I donated £10, I hope it genuinely helps some of the victims of this tragedy :( thank you for talking about such an important issue Niomi, I wish we could all just help eachother out as human beings and not have wars...
thank you niomi for being a positive influence and so understanding of media and what people find important. I've already told most of my family that they should just donate to east Aleppo instead of a present for me.
I'm so glad you mentioned Aleppo. A lot of people talk about the politics involved or talk about who's right and wrong but when it comes to it; its just normal people, civilians, who get affected the most. Either by being displaced or killed. It's mostly children who are affected the most, a lot of them are just traumatised to even cry, it's truly heartbreaking that in this century most countries are just standing by and just watching. Hopefully this war comes to an end soon but to be brutally honest i don't think Asad will stop and until he has eliminated the civilians of Aleppo unless he is stopped.
I think donating to the doctors is amazing as at the moment there are no working hospitals in Aleppo ie they have all been bombed. The last hospital was bombed last month, had mostly children in incubators and the elderly, every started running until a doctor realised there was no other safe place or hospital to run to so they just stayed there and the doctors tried to save the babies and help the injured. A doctor should never have to weigh up which patients life is more important but that's the choice they had due to the resources and the lack of doctors. Sorry for the rant but i hope someone reads this and donates or just spread awareness like Niomi has said. Something is better than nothing! #savealeppo
I rarely comment on your vids but I absolutely love you for talking about aleppo and all the injustice in the world.there is only justice with God . one day we will know what this world was for x
This girl has so much compassion in her heart i only wish her channel grows bigger than those who are currently at the top cus she deserves it so much more
As a Syrian.. I really want to thank you for ur feeling what you're doing to help Aleppo .. people's condition there is 10 time worse that what you can imagine... they appreciate every single prayer and they're just waiting for their destiny ...
Thank you, Niomi. I was so angry knowing that people with 1 million + followers are not talking. The truth is, sadly, that we cannot all go and help directly, but when we have internet 'celebrities' who reach a following of 11 million people- a huge huge margin- acting as though nothing is happening, it's so frustrating. Viewers who watch these channels need to be informed about the crisis in order for the world to be better, even if it's only by a tiny bit. Can you imagine the benefit big youtubers could make just by mentioning how we can help? It would be incredible; But they just don't seem to plea for help, talk about donations or discuss the issue and it's so so frustrating seeing it. I respect you so much for actually discussing this in an intelligent way. Thank you.
I liked the spontaneous beginning of this blog and I really appreciate you talking about Aleppo. I feel so lost and sad about it all, I've donated but it doesn't feel like enough. It makes me cry too
Finally someone spoke about it ! . Thank-you so much Niomi for addressing this issue and spreading awareness because I haven't seen any RUclipsr talk about it yet. Love you more now
Niomi and Arden Rose and the only two i've seen too. I'd find it hard to be niomi and be friends with alot of big youtubers that aren't doing anything about it. Massive kudos to Niomi.
Thank you so much Niomi for doing the best you can to bring awareness and help the innocent children that are brutally being killed or living in fear everyday.
Thank you, Niomi, for using your voice to speak for an oppressed people who aren't being heard. If the news won't raise awareness, I hope more people like you will.
thank you niomi for using youtube as a platform to spread the awareness. you have a huge followers and you've been using it so wisely. i hope more ppl talk about this. I hope you're having a good day , love you 💜💜
I have always respected you and I am so happy to see that your raising awareness! You have nothing to be sorry for in terms of feeling the way you do and being emotional.. Were human and its okay to show and express how we feel xx
Western media dominates global media. There are about a thousand atrocities that happen every year around the world and mainly only the atrocities that occur in western/first world countries reach our ears. Also, this may be harsh to accept, but we really only care about the west. It's important to realize that the reason many countries around the world are unpeaceful, poor, unstable, is because of us (the west). It is not only our moral requirement to help these countries, it is also our debt. We owe these countries aid and help as we started their problems in the first place. This is a reality that is almost never acknowledged let alone accepted. So when and if we as individuals donate or in some way help war-torn countries such as Syria, let's keep in mind that we are not doing a good deed, we are simply settling our debt and somewhat paying for the benefits we have been living and thriving off for so many years. And I think it actually is extremely important to read into where you are donating. While you may think you are doing at least no harm by donating, it is possible that you may actually be fueling terrorism through this action. Please help and please talk about Syria. This is not about us or our privilege. Regardless of the reason, innocent people dying is not acceptable.
You & Tanya speaking out over Aleppo has made me so happy you don't know how important it is that we talk about the atrocities being committed their and how many people have been needless murdered while our country and others have stood by and let it happen. Thank you so much #prayforAleppo
Thank you for raising awareness to this issue, for me as a Jordanian sharing borders with Syria and literature hearing the sound of bombs all the way from there, for the last 5 years we opened our borders for almost 1 million innocent civilians (which is equivalent to 20% of our population). Yet i feel its not enough, indeed every little helps! 5€ can b a warm blanket for a little baby feeling cold in this awful weather....
I'm volunteering for Save the Children in Sweden, and I can't thank you enough for raising awareness about the situation in Syria. Recently I've been so annoyed with other youtubers for not even mentioning this. Thank you so much.
This is one of the many reasons why Niomi is one of my favourite RUclipsrs/Influencers! She genuinely cares about everyone and not only thinks of herself!
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT ALEPPO. For me, it's been the most disturbing part of watching vlogmas this year-I go from watching youtubers fly to places like Germany and Paris and NYC to reading articles about the continued death toll in Aleppo. The divide is so brutally wide and it is painful to see. The truth is - YOU HAVE SO MUCH POWER. Really, youtubers as a community can utilize their platforms to have an incredible impact. Using that privilege to further good in our world and to shed light on issues that need more attention is a responsibility that privilege brings. I would suggest taking a more direct approach - getting in contact with leaders of these organizations and asking them how it would be best to help (besides just funding their efforts). I would find refugees and give a voice to their experiences. I would also suggest finding people who are familiar with the issues surrounding the inability of refugees who have escaped to properly continue their lives elsewhere; the stigma behind the immigration of refugees is insane and helping to educate more people about that issue would be helpful. You CAN help! Again, thanks for talking about it in your vlog. No one asked or expected you to and it's always brave when anyone does something like that.
Thank you a million times over for using your platform to raise your voice. It made me feel so emotional and teary to see how genuinely you conveyed the crisis. From someone who has been aimlessly wishing that I would be able to say something and people would just listen I am just so grateful you spoke out. You truly seem as beautiful inside as you are out xxx
Niomi, youre such a beautiful human being. inside and out. im so inspired by you, its really horrific how theres just so much problems in this world and ppl need to be more aware about it. love you
Niomi from the absolute bottom of my heat I really appreciate you gaining awareness for Aleppo. It really warmed my heart. Whether small or big your efforts, donations and tears will make all the difference. Thank you x.
only vlog I watch because only sensible human being out here. so much respect for you. why are there not fucking people with 10million subscribers doing this. all they do is promote their merch and branch. where has the support gone in hard times like these.this is basic sense of humanity. ughhh
Arushi Shrivastava no your wrong So stop disrespecting other RUclipsrs as they choose not to vlog about it as they know they've got young viewers who don't want to hear it and don't think parents will appreciate it if they did 👋🏻
Katie Campbell12577 I am not disrespecting them,just saying out of all that following think of the change they can make. this is just awareness about a dreadful thing that happened with "young"and old innocent people. everyone should know about this young or old. this is bigger than petty drama. get together for humanity.
Katie Campbell12577 I feel the youth need to be educated about the realities of what's happening in the world. my daughters followed zoella and have less respect for her now because they feel that she's so self absorbed,not to even mention once what's happening in aleppo and other parts of the world
sofhia kaka know what bugs me? Why are all these youtubers with big followings getting backlash when there is 100s upon 100s of celebrities out there who also never mention it. Not mentioning it doesn't mean you're ignoring all knowledge and that it doesn't affect you. Some people aren't educated enough on it therefore find it easier not to speak about it because they are afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending someone. I personally can never make sense of half the things I read therefore don't put an opinion across because I don't fully understand it. Bugs me that people are assuming that people with big followings are ignoring it because they simply don't care when there is such a bigger picture.
michelle roberts with all due respect to you, there is nothing to understand here except the fact the people are massacred brutally and we are doing nothing about it. big celebrities are also included in big following group. if you are truly affected and trying to help your efforts show. they have their words in their mouth when they have to promote themselves as a brand so why not here??
thank you for speaking up about this Aleppo situation. btw, you shouldnt apologize for getting emotional talking about it, it just shows that you actually care and have empathy towards this innocent people being hurt. I love you Niomi
Niomi you are so sweet and thoughtful. I feel the exact same way. Its so horrible whats happening out there. Thank you for raising awareness. Love you ☺️
Niomi, thank you SO MUCH for using your platform to spread awareness and help in any way you can. It's truly so heartbreaking what's happening and I'm not sure why it's not being blasted over the news as well. We are all small voices and sharing the issue is so important, but your voice is truly so much stronger. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. You are a voice for humanity and love. I donated to the White Helmets and I'm praying for everyone there. I cry alongside you for the souls who are lost and struggling to survive. Love you Niomi! ❤
You are such a lovely lovely caring person. Your spirit crosses through a computer screen. Good job on addressing this major humanitarian issue, its scary how much gets brushed under the rug.
Thank you for talking about his Niomi. Cried myself to sleep last night after watching videos of babies being pulled from rubble and felt so helpless at being able to do nothing. Just want to reach out and pull those people to safety. Heartbreaking. Thank you again.
Niomi, you're such a humane, down to earth person! This is the reason I follow you but no other vloggers - you really do things even if there is no profit from doing it. Especially recommending doctors without borders. You're absolutely wonderful. My family and I have already donated and informed ourselves and I'm still upset (but hoping again now) because of the way you have talked about this. You really put things into perspective like few others. Good on you, you wonderful woman. I wish there were more people like you.
Girl you shouldn't stress about vlogmas! We love watching you talk with us being casual like today's vlog just as much when you're at an event or whatever! We're happy with whatever you post 😘
Niomi, I love you for this. You are absolutely right. Whenever a horrific situation is happening in a country that is not as important as UK, USA, France, Japan, etc. It seems as if it did not matter. Venezuela, my country, is going through a disastrous situation and there is no coverage of it anywhere. I bet that 90% percent of the people watching this video have no idea of what I am writing about, and it is not their fault. We cannot keep living in a world where attention goes to "important" countries. Everyone is important. Every life has the same value. So thank you for sharing this message. What is happening in Aleppo is inhuman, and awareness is very much needed. Thank you.
Thank you so much for speaking out about Aleppo, I feel like so many people are just looking away.. and please don't apologize for getting emotional this just makes it so much more real
I admire you so much more for standing up for Aleppo! I'm actively tweeting about it for weeks! It's so sad and it makes me wonder what humanity has become, that half the world is numb! Love you and keep it up!
Niomi has such a warm heart!!! The fact she has a party that night and instead of talking about how exited she is and all that she is saying how she feels helpless and guilty about her doing well for herself and having a great life and others aren't shows how much she cares about others as much as she does herself! I LOVE NIOMI❤️🔐
I don't think I've seen another popular RUclipsr address this issue!! THANK YOU!! It's so difficult to know how to help out (aside from donating) because the war in Syria is so intertwined with corruption, politics & greed. There is so much evil in this world but it doesn't seem like world leaders are doing anything about it. The Kardashians get more media attention than the millions of innocent people being killed.
I don't watch an awful lot of youtubers, but I've noticed it's so painfully that amongst all this materialism and consumerism around christmas, you are the ONLY big youtuber who has come out to speak about Aleppo. I'm so thoroughly impressed and inspired by your desire to use your media platform to really help others and raise awarness. Good on you girl! So much respect!
Thank you for bringing awareness and actually TALKING about Aleppo, Niomi. I'm subbed to prob 30 channels and you're alone on doing so. I highly recommend donating to Unicef as well. Much love
I can't describe my admiration for your compassion Niomi. This is really happening and so many people are living obliviously to the suffering of innocent citizens in Aleppo. This is a wonderful way to spread awareness for such a deserving cause. Don't change and continue to give ❤
Niomi is truly, truly a inspirational woman. I completely agree with everything that you have said. It is really shocking how people are so silent about this crisis in Aleppo. We sometimes don't realise how privileged we are 😞🙏🏼
You're an inspiring young woman. You crying is showing us how much you care, so don't worry about it. Thank you for the links, I donated right away! Keep doing what you're doing because more people should be like you. Lots of love xoxo
Thank you so much Niomi for speaking about Aleppo! I am usually a silent and shy subscriber but I really appreciate the fact that you want to use your platforms to raise awareness about it and I felt like I need to thank you for it! It's really heartbreaking how much people are ignoring what's happening in Aleppo...
We never see bigger youtubers like Zoe, Pewdiepie etc. talk about matters like syria. Someone needs to- and im so glad people like you and Tanya are using your platform to gain awareness x
Lol as if Zoe would
+Alice she only donates to wagamama
stop being mean about Zoë, she might donate but she might not film it
I'm from Syria I live in the U.K. Though and I respect all religions thanks niomi xx
amelia barlow yes but if she spoke about donating she could get millions of her followers to donate as well. You have to speak about it!
I am so happy you raised awareness, and I'm so disappointed in other huge youtubers, public figures, celebrities and the media for staying silent. It's just shocking how a gorilla dies and people protest, and 400,000 Syrians have been brutally murdered and the world is silent. Thank you for using your platform to spread a message.
broski the number is a lot larger than that.
broski Tanya did it aswell
MissUnstopp4bl3 whzt vid did she talk about
I can safely say NIOMI is the best person she just stole my heart
right? she's just naturally likeable :)
Mari She is an amazing human being
niomi can't just do what the rest of the world wants she is human she deserves more than to worry about the world and trying to sort out the rest of the worlds problems
music world
music world I hate to be rude but just shut up.
Niomi, you are an angel. I have so much respect for your kind spirit. You truly embody what it means to be beautiful inside and out. It is so important that you not feel guilty for living the life you do. You have this reach and voice for a reason, and it speaks volumes about how deeply compassionate you are through raising awareness about this heart breaking tragedy. Your voice has a powerful ripple effect. I can only imagine what would happen if every influencer spoke up about these issues. Thank you. I love you.
Claire Michelle very true Niomi u don't hv to feel bad or guilty about ur life
It warms my heart when someone with a large following use their voice and puts it to good use. Thank you niomi, you are an inspiration xx
Thank you so much for using your large platform to raise awareness on the crisis in Syria. You are a TRUE sweetheart Niomi. I can't help but wonder why even bigger RUclipsrs like Tanya and Zoe have not used their platform to bring awareness to this heartbreaking situation 💔
And thank you for leaving all of those donation links for people to help out. Besides Niomi, the only other popular beauty guru that I'm aware of who was brave enough to speak about this crisis on one of her actual RUclips videos is Dulce Candy. If only every RUclipsr with a big platform could be as caring as Niomi and Dulce to discuss these important issues - how much of a positive difference that would make in this cruel world 💔
*****
In which video? Link it please if you can. Ta 👍
Catherine the Great I agree but be careful with examples. Tanya is always talking about issues like syria!
Zoe won't because her and Alfie insist on having this super childish persona they present? Always acting really naive and childish. It's their choice I guess, and it appeals to their demographic - very young girls.
The Dom just because they are fun people doesn't mean they aren't going to show kindness and help suffering people. they are not stupid they know what's happening in the world. u don't know that they aren't going to help
Niomi, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing to raise awareness of this tragic situation and not choosing to ignore it. It is the sad reality and thank you for making vlogmas a accurate representation of an unfortunate reality...Love you lots 😘❤️ X
*this vlogmas video an accurate representation of reality x
One thing: Don't apologise for caring or showing real human emotion. Ironically that's what we need to most right now in order to make this real
giving when we have nothing...that what makes us human. it's so important for us to do all we can. We are with children who need our help.
This literally made me so upset...I promise to be a pioneer for the safety of children.
Crying my eyes out
Thank you Niomi, finally someone raising awareness about this on youtube! I've seen a lot of people speaking out and raising awareness on Instagram but it is shocking what a huge crime is being committed against humanity right now, and for the past few months/years. I can't understand what is goes through the minds of people doing these horrific things, I wish there was more we could do but I hope donating will be enough for now.
Dear Niomi, I can't tell you how happy it made me that you chose to talk about Aleppo in your vlog. I've seriously been feeling the same way for a couple of days now, and I feel so helpless and angry. I've been crying a lot and I also started crying watching this, because I hate not being able to do anything but pray and spread awareness on social media. But what I'm feeling is nothing compared to what the innocent people of Aleppo and Syria are going through. I was really hoping that more people with a big following would talk about this major issue, so I can't tell you how much I appreciate you spreading so much awareness. I hope and pray that one day we all can live in a world where we don't weigh the importance of lives depending on nationality, religion etc., and where our little children get to live in peace. Thank you
We have harboured so many refugees here in Germany and so many of them still have families in Aleppo and have no idea if they're still alive. It kills me just hearing about this and I hate that the European governments aren't doing anything!
Christin Kolbeck 💔💔💔
Hi there, may I ask someone from Germany if islamophobia is bad there? Thinking of visiting but with the state of the world, it's really scary, hope you dont mind me asking. :)
My Vainpaintpot no such thing as islamophobia. Muslims get treated better than non Muslims tbh. It's really sad because we should all be equal.
No experience of any Islamophobia in Germany
I believe we are and you may mark my question as a question of ignorance as I have never travelled out of Asia so the media got me feeling wary. That's great to hear as I would really love to visit Germany! Thank you. :)
Niomi its just so heart warming to see you teary-eyed and speak about syria and aleppo. no one even bothers mentioning. whatever you said is so true. the world has turned a blind eye to them.everyday i feel so frustrated and clueless about why it has to continue this way. the amount of influence you have on people is enormous and the fact that you used your channel to speak on behalf of them makes me love you even more. you are a wonderful person. hugs. God bless xx
plz don't keep saying sorry. genuine people and genuine emotions don't need a sorry.
I have always loved niomi but I now respect her, having courage to raise awareness for such a big thing regardless of all the hate she could receive is absolutely amazing. Keep doing you niomi, all the Syrians watching would appreciate everything you have done!!
Niomi you're so amazing. I myself was sitting down yesterday deciding which eye-shadow palette to ask for for Christmas when I heard the news and it makes me so upset to think that there could be another 18 year old girl in Aleppo with the same interests and passions and dreams as me, but while I sat contemplating my eyeshadow, she was terrified that she was going to die. It really hit me hard and I didn't know what I could do to help until now. But I've asked my parents, instead of spending €50 on an eyeshadow palette for me for Christmas, if they would donate that €50 to an organisation that could help the people of Aleppo out. I know €50 might not make a huge difference but its better than nothing. I'm also hoping that the organisation thats sending clothes to Aleppo can be sent clothes from here in Ireland as well as the UK. So thank you Niomi for speaking out about this crisis and providing the information about where we can donate xx
Bless you xx
That is so, so sweet of you. I'm a teenager in America, and that is just so, so kind and heartwarming to hear.
theessenceofbeauty1g That's really sweet of you!
This is why I'm so glad I'm following you. YOU are very aware and it's amazing that you use your platform to bring awareness. There are many you tubers that block themselves from topics like this because they don't want to "be negative" and have a positive channel but to have such a big following and influence is incredible. If I had a huge following I would want to bring awareness to my followers. Bringing awareness to issues DOES make a difference. To each their own I guess. But anyways, you are very admirable. Thanks for your little speech :)
Finally someone how talks about important things
Thank you so much for speaking for the people of Syria. So much respect for you ❤️
Man, as an Arab Muslim I truuuuuuuuuly want to say thank you for talking about it. We are quite used to not being in the news unless it's bad, and that's just the way it is. Idk why our blood seems very cheap, but if it wasn't for oil, no one would acknowledge our existence. Syria has been in a state of revolution since 2011, but the past few days have witnessed a serious crackdown on Aleppo, and unfortunately for Syrians, since the world cannot gain anything from it, it turns a blind eye. Having you speak on it and hopefully raising awareness to your following is really helpful and appreciated.
May we see a day in the future the world talks of the middle east in a way better state.
Also, as long as you do your part which is either by donating or raising awareness, you should know that there is nothing more in your power to do, and that you shouldn't feel guilty. There are only so much we have control over.
Niomi literally has the softest heart ever... 😭❤❤
Such right words about Syria! I'm glad that at least now people are talking about it.. because it has been going on for 4 YEARS, 4 years of near to complete silence...
I have so much respect for you for discussing this when so many others that have a public platform choose not to address issues like this. God bless. x
Thank you Niomi from the bottom of my heart. Edited my comment, thanks for those who corrected my mistakes. May god bless you all.
Wizalia isn't it Syrians fighting Syrians? That's not a world war. That's a civil war.
ccap3211 Syrians fighting Syrians? I thought it was more than that, look at other countries involved.
Nur Syahirah Yes, I was afraid to say that, no disrespect to anyone. Its just sad.
ccap3211 they're trying to describe how bad it is by comparing it to the scale of world war 2, they are not calling it a world war.
ccap3211 it's a proxy war of superpowers being fought in Syria. Russia is backing the Syrian government and the US and NATO is backing the rebels. They're also using the regional powers like turkey, Iran, Saudi etc. So yes it is very much a world war.
Omg i just cried when she talked about Aleppo, 😢😢 I feel a shame when i live in my good life and people in somewhere lives like that , let's together help them 🙏🙏😢
I respect you so much for mentioning Aleppo ❤
thank you niomi for talking bout this.. unlike other mainstream youtubers who completely ignore the topic. its not something we should be ignoring and rather talking about and bringing awareness to a situation like this to support those who are in our need. so again, thank you.
rehena agree she and Dulce Candy are the only two who have done videos on it
rehena Tanya has aswell
This is just so lovely! As a Muslim seeing a person who has such a huge platform and so many followers on social media, standing for simply what is humane, is just amazing! I thank you for being so real and down to earth, addressing the real life issues we face as humanity! I am sure you will have a way more greater future, beautiful souls like you must be up successful and ... just ... real! I honestly never comment anywhere, but I just had to say what I feel now. Thank you , Niomi! 💛
I truly sincerely respect you for what you did to help them, to even mention them....its heartbreaking how the media just decided to not give them coverage....this makes me cry
Niomi u are my hero and the world doesn't deserve such a beautiful soul like u , trust me by those tears u are helping bc u feel how much they are suffering, not just Aleppo lots of countries but they are all in hevean and justice will rise no matter what, we have to pray , donate and feel , that's all we can do
Niomi, the fact that you said that you feel guilty for the lifestyle you have when others are suffering is such a testament to your character. Keep doing what your doing and you'll find your avenue to help those in need x
Thank you for covering such a sensitive topic that is occurring right now.
You are literally the ONLY RUclipsr I watch that has addressed Aleppo. Thank you for using your platform for good. This is why I love following you.
What a woman. What an inspiration. What an incredible role model. You are so outstandingly great Niomi, doing what you do and have done, is EVERYTHING. You out of all people should be able to sleep and live with no regrets and knowing that you have done all you could, because you my friend, are amazing.
FINALLY a youtuber who speaks about Aleppo.
People like you gives me hope that there's still humanity left in the world. Thank you for being such an inspiration to everyone
Wow i think the only mainstream vlogger has come out about aleppo on RUclips MUCH RESPECT NIOMI
ar london Dulce Candy as well, but otherwise I agree the others are silent ;(
ar london Tanya has aswell
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, for raising awareness and actually providing ways to actively help those in Aleppo. Too many talk about whats going on and fail to take action.
i'm a student so i don't have much of an income but I donated £10, I hope it genuinely helps some of the victims of this tragedy :( thank you for talking about such an important issue Niomi, I wish we could all just help eachother out as human beings and not have wars...
Boglarka Nagy ten pounds is great, anything will be helpful to the civilians there ;)
Boglarka Nagy I just donated $10 and I am a student with financial issues as well and you have such a kind soul :) we need more people like you
Estiee C
so much respect for you bringing awareness of this topic to some people who may not be aware xxx
thank you niomi for being a positive influence and so understanding of media and what people find important. I've already told most of my family that they should just donate to east Aleppo instead of a present for me.
Thank you for using your voice naiomi! You are such a kind and warm hearted person!
I'm so glad you mentioned Aleppo. A lot of people talk about the politics involved or talk about who's right and wrong but when it comes to it; its just normal people, civilians, who get affected the most. Either by being displaced or killed. It's mostly children who are affected the most, a lot of them are just traumatised to even cry, it's truly heartbreaking that in this century most countries are just standing by and just watching. Hopefully this war comes to an end soon but to be brutally honest i don't think Asad will stop and until he has eliminated the civilians of Aleppo unless he is stopped.
I think donating to the doctors is amazing as at the moment there are no working hospitals in Aleppo ie they have all been bombed. The last hospital was bombed last month, had mostly children in incubators and the elderly, every started running until a doctor realised there was no other safe place or hospital to run to so they just stayed there and the doctors tried to save the babies and help the injured. A doctor should never have to weigh up which patients life is more important but that's the choice they had due to the resources and the lack of doctors. Sorry for the rant but i hope someone reads this and donates or just spread awareness like Niomi has said. Something is better than nothing! #savealeppo
Thank you for raising awareness about Aleppo, Niomi! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I rarely comment on your vids but I absolutely love you for talking about aleppo and all the injustice in the world.there is only justice with God . one day we will know what this world was for x
This girl has so much compassion in her heart i only wish her channel grows bigger than those who are currently at the top cus she deserves it so much more
As a Syrian.. I really want to thank you for ur feeling what you're doing to help Aleppo .. people's condition there is 10 time worse that what you can imagine... they appreciate every single prayer and they're just waiting for their destiny ...
thank you for speaking about helping others, it really makes a difference because of your millions of followers
Thank you, Niomi. I was so angry knowing that people with 1 million + followers are not talking. The truth is, sadly, that we cannot all go and help directly, but when we have internet 'celebrities' who reach a following of 11 million people- a huge huge margin- acting as though nothing is happening, it's so frustrating. Viewers who watch these channels need to be informed about the crisis in order for the world to be better, even if it's only by a tiny bit. Can you imagine the benefit big youtubers could make just by mentioning how we can help? It would be incredible; But they just don't seem to plea for help, talk about donations or discuss the issue and it's so so frustrating seeing it. I respect you so much for actually discussing this in an intelligent way. Thank you.
Amy Heath agree I respect Niomi and Dulce Candy for speaking about it, no one else is
I liked the spontaneous beginning of this blog and I really appreciate you talking about Aleppo. I feel so lost and sad about it all, I've donated but it doesn't feel like enough. It makes me cry too
Finally someone spoke about it ! . Thank-you so much Niomi for addressing this issue and spreading awareness because I haven't seen any RUclipsr talk about it yet. Love you more now
Fatima Irfan Niomi and Dulce Candy are the only two I've seen which is depressing, given the audiences youtubers can reach and inform
Niomi and Arden Rose and the only two i've seen too. I'd find it hard to be niomi and be friends with alot of big youtubers that aren't doing anything about it. Massive kudos to Niomi.
Thank you so much Niomi for doing the best you can to bring awareness and help the innocent children that are brutally being killed or living in fear everyday.
Thank you, Niomi, for using your voice to speak for an oppressed people who aren't being heard. If the news won't raise awareness, I hope more people like you will.
So much respect for Niomi right now. Guys let's get this video to the most likes ever!
I hope the youtuber community can really raise awareness like you have, so much love
thank you niomi for using youtube as a platform to spread the awareness. you have a huge followers and you've been using it so wisely. i hope more ppl talk about this. I hope you're having a good day
, love you 💜💜
I think it's good you showed emotion - it makes it more real. Really appreciated this conversation.
I have always respected you and I am so happy to see that your raising awareness! You have nothing to be sorry for in terms of feeling the way you do and being emotional.. Were human and its okay to show and express how we feel xx
Western media dominates global media. There are about a thousand atrocities that happen every year around the world and mainly only the atrocities that occur in western/first world countries reach our ears. Also, this may be harsh to accept, but we really only care about the west. It's important to realize that the reason many countries around the world are unpeaceful, poor, unstable, is because of us (the west). It is not only our moral requirement to help these countries, it is also our debt. We owe these countries aid and help as we started their problems in the first place. This is a reality that is almost never acknowledged let alone accepted. So when and if we as individuals donate or in some way help war-torn countries such as Syria, let's keep in mind that we are not doing a good deed, we are simply settling our debt and somewhat paying for the benefits we have been living and thriving off for so many years. And I think it actually is extremely important to read into where you are donating. While you may think you are doing at least no harm by donating, it is possible that you may actually be fueling terrorism through this action. Please help and please talk about Syria. This is not about us or our privilege. Regardless of the reason, innocent people dying is not acceptable.
Thank you for raising awareness on Aleppo
You & Tanya speaking out over Aleppo has made me so happy you don't know how important it is that we talk about the atrocities being committed their and how many people have been needless murdered while our country and others have stood by and let it happen. Thank you so much #prayforAleppo
THANK YOU FOR RASING AWARENESS. That is the best thing you can do right now with your audience.
Niomi I can't thank you enough for raising awareness on the Syrian situation. As a Syrian, it hurts to see most of the world silent. THANK YOU.
Just fell more and more in love with Niomi ❤
Thank you for raising awareness to this issue, for me as a Jordanian sharing borders with Syria and literature hearing the sound of bombs all the way from there, for the last 5 years we opened our borders for almost 1 million innocent civilians (which is equivalent to 20% of our population). Yet i feel its not enough, indeed every little helps! 5€ can b a warm blanket for a little baby feeling cold in this awful weather....
I'm volunteering for Save the Children in Sweden, and I can't thank you enough for raising awareness about the situation in Syria. Recently I've been so annoyed with other youtubers for not even mentioning this. Thank you so much.
Amanda G agree Niomi and Dulce Candy are the only two I've seen
This is one of the many reasons why Niomi is one of my favourite RUclipsrs/Influencers! She genuinely cares about everyone and not only thinks of herself!
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT ALEPPO. For me, it's been the most disturbing part of watching vlogmas this year-I go from watching youtubers fly to places like Germany and Paris and NYC to reading articles about the continued death toll in Aleppo. The divide is so brutally wide and it is painful to see.
The truth is - YOU HAVE SO MUCH POWER. Really, youtubers as a community can utilize their platforms to have an incredible impact. Using that privilege to further good in our world and to shed light on issues that need more attention is a responsibility that privilege brings. I would suggest taking a more direct approach - getting in contact with leaders of these organizations and asking them how it would be best to help (besides just funding their efforts). I would find refugees and give a voice to their experiences. I would also suggest finding people who are familiar with the issues surrounding the inability of refugees who have escaped to properly continue their lives elsewhere; the stigma behind the immigration of refugees is insane and helping to educate more people about that issue would be helpful. You CAN help! Again, thanks for talking about it in your vlog. No one asked or expected you to and it's always brave when anyone does something like that.
Thank you a million times over for using your platform to raise your voice. It made me feel so emotional and teary to see how genuinely you conveyed the crisis.
From someone who has been aimlessly wishing that I would be able to say something and people would just listen I am just so grateful you spoke out.
You truly seem as beautiful inside as you are out xxx
Niomi, youre such a beautiful human being. inside and out. im so inspired by you, its really horrific how theres just so much problems in this world and ppl need to be more aware about it. love you
Don't you ever apologize for being emotional for something like this. Bless you sweet girl
you made me cry hard Niomi..thank you for talking about whats happening in Aleppo !
Niomi from the absolute bottom of my heat I really appreciate you gaining awareness for Aleppo. It really warmed my heart. Whether small or big your efforts, donations and tears will make all the difference. Thank you x.
only vlog I watch because only sensible human being out here. so much respect for you. why are there not fucking people with 10million subscribers
doing this. all they do is promote their merch and branch. where has the support gone in hard times like these.this is basic sense of humanity. ughhh
Arushi Shrivastava no your wrong So stop disrespecting other RUclipsrs as they choose not to vlog about it as they know they've got young viewers who don't want to hear it and don't think parents will appreciate it if they did 👋🏻
Katie Campbell12577 I am not disrespecting them,just saying out of all that following think of the change they can make. this is just awareness about a dreadful thing that happened with "young"and old innocent people. everyone should know about this young or old. this is bigger than petty drama. get together for humanity.
Katie Campbell12577 I feel the youth need to be educated about the realities of what's happening in the world. my daughters followed zoella and have less respect for her now because they feel that she's so self absorbed,not to even mention once what's happening in aleppo and other parts of the world
sofhia kaka know what bugs me? Why are all these youtubers with big followings getting backlash when there is 100s upon 100s of celebrities out there who also never mention it. Not mentioning it doesn't mean you're ignoring all knowledge and that it doesn't affect you. Some people aren't educated enough on it therefore find it easier not to speak about it because they are afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending someone. I personally can never make sense of half the things I read therefore don't put an opinion across because I don't fully understand it. Bugs me that people are assuming that people with big followings are ignoring it because they simply don't care when there is such a bigger picture.
michelle roberts with all due respect to you, there is nothing to understand here except the fact the people are massacred brutally and we are doing nothing about it. big celebrities are also included in big following group. if you are truly affected and trying to help your efforts show. they have their words in their mouth when they have to promote themselves as a brand so why not here??
thank you for speaking up about this Aleppo situation. btw, you shouldnt apologize for getting emotional talking about it, it just shows that you actually care and have empathy towards this innocent people being hurt. I love you Niomi
Niomi is such a genuine person. She is such a compassionate human being. Love and respect!
Thank you Niomi, seeing you trying gives a lot of hope. I am Syrian in Turkey with relatives in Aleppo. donating is good, but awareness is the key.
Niomi you are so sweet and thoughtful. I feel the exact same way. Its so horrible whats happening out there. Thank you for raising awareness. Love you ☺️
Niomi, thank you SO MUCH for using your platform to spread awareness and help in any way you can. It's truly so heartbreaking what's happening and I'm not sure why it's not being blasted over the news as well. We are all small voices and sharing the issue is so important, but your voice is truly so much stronger. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. You are a voice for humanity and love. I donated to the White Helmets and I'm praying for everyone there. I cry alongside you for the souls who are lost and struggling to survive. Love you Niomi! ❤
Niomi- you're such a warm, lovely, genuine person. I adore you so much ❤
You are such a lovely lovely caring person. Your spirit crosses through a computer screen. Good job on addressing this major humanitarian issue, its scary how much gets brushed under the rug.
Thank you for speaking about Aleppo! You are so wonderful and kind, Niomi!
Thank you for talking about his Niomi. Cried myself to sleep last night after watching videos of babies being pulled from rubble and felt so helpless at being able to do nothing. Just want to reach out and pull those people to safety. Heartbreaking. Thank you again.
That was a graceful way to mention your boyfriend! And thank you for mentioning Aleppo, you're such an inspiration ❤️
Niomi, you're such a humane, down to earth person! This is the reason I follow you but no other vloggers -
you really do things even if there is no profit from doing it. Especially recommending doctors without borders.
You're absolutely wonderful.
My family and I have already donated and informed ourselves and I'm still upset (but hoping again now) because of the way you have talked about this. You really put things into perspective like few others.
Good on you, you wonderful woman. I wish there were more people like you.
One of the few speaking about this, Naomi just owned my respect. This is exactly what everyone should do
You have such a kind soul Niomi. Thank you for not being afraid of speaking out about the important issues which so many youtubers shy away from.
Girl you shouldn't stress about vlogmas! We love watching you talk with us being casual like today's vlog just as much when you're at an event or whatever! We're happy with whatever you post 😘
Niomi, I love you for this. You are absolutely right. Whenever a horrific situation is happening in a country that is not as important as UK, USA, France, Japan, etc. It seems as if it did not matter. Venezuela, my country, is going through a disastrous situation and there is no coverage of it anywhere. I bet that 90% percent of the people watching this video have no idea of what I am writing about, and it is not their fault. We cannot keep living in a world where attention goes to "important" countries. Everyone is important. Every life has the same value. So thank you for sharing this message. What is happening in Aleppo is inhuman, and awareness is very much needed. Thank you.
Thank you so much for speaking out about Aleppo, I feel like so many people are just looking away.. and please don't apologize for getting emotional this just makes it so much more real
I admire you so much more for standing up for Aleppo! I'm actively tweeting about it for weeks! It's so sad and it makes me wonder what humanity has become, that half the world is numb! Love you and keep it up!
I'm so glad that at least someone decided to raise awareness. This is amazing. Thank you xx
Niomi has such a warm heart!!! The fact she has a party that night and instead of talking about how exited she is and all that she is saying how she feels helpless and guilty about her doing well for herself and having a great life and others aren't shows how much she cares about others as much as she does herself! I LOVE NIOMI❤️🔐
I don't think I've seen another popular RUclipsr address this issue!! THANK YOU!! It's so difficult to know how to help out (aside from donating) because the war in Syria is so intertwined with corruption, politics & greed. There is so much evil in this world but it doesn't seem like world leaders are doing anything about it. The Kardashians get more media attention than the millions of innocent people being killed.
I don't watch an awful lot of youtubers, but I've noticed it's so painfully that amongst all this materialism and consumerism around christmas, you are the ONLY big youtuber who has come out to speak about Aleppo. I'm so thoroughly impressed and inspired by your desire to use your media platform to really help others and raise awarness. Good on you girl! So much respect!
Thank you for bringing awareness and actually TALKING about Aleppo, Niomi. I'm subbed to prob 30 channels and you're alone on doing so. I highly recommend donating to Unicef as well. Much love
I can't describe my admiration for your compassion Niomi. This is really happening and so many people are living obliviously to the suffering of innocent citizens in Aleppo. This is a wonderful way to spread awareness for such a deserving cause. Don't change and continue to give ❤
Don't feel guilty, just use your massive influence and what you have to raise awareness and to help.
Niomi is truly, truly a inspirational woman. I completely agree with everything that you have said. It is really shocking how people are so silent about this crisis in Aleppo. We sometimes don't realise how privileged we are 😞🙏🏼
You're an inspiring young woman. You crying is showing us how much you care, so don't worry about it. Thank you for the links, I donated right away!
Keep doing what you're doing because more people should be like you.
Lots of love xoxo
Thank you so much Niomi for speaking about Aleppo! I am usually a silent and shy subscriber but I really appreciate the fact that you want to use your platforms to raise awareness about it and I felt like I need to thank you for it! It's really heartbreaking how much people are ignoring what's happening in Aleppo...
