In 2021, Zaila made history by becoming the first African American to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. But that's just the tip of the iceberg
when it comes to her amazing journey.
Zaila is also a basketball prodigy. She's a Guinness World Record holder for her skills, including the most basketballs dribbled simultaneously and the most
bounce juggles in one minute. Her dedication to the sport is nothing short of inspiring.
Born in Harvey, Louisiana, Zaila’s journey started at a young age. Her parents recognized her potential early on, and she began honing her diverse set of
skills. From academics to athletics, Zaila's curiosity and hard work set her apart.

From the poorest state in America in addition to having the lowest grading schools, this lovely lady from Louisiana made history. Congratulations, Zaila Avant-garde.
Mississippi is the poorest state but Louisiana close to them
I think Virginia has to have this title over Louisiana….🤔
@@LoneStarGod : Thank you for that important correction.
This young African girl has made Africa proud! Our people are Amazing ❤️
Geaux Louisiana! 👏🏾
Coming from a Nigerian. African americans are intelligent people, they have just been through a lot.
we are very proud of them...
I hope to work with their engineers some day when things go well....🙏
Nice! I’m glad that you are respecting the fact that she is black American as to not take from our culture. I am Black American with Nigerian ancestry and I am studying to become a Data Scientist and my son is working on his PHD is Physics to become an Astro Physicist. Just remember the obnoxious media tries to portray us as uneducated and unruly; however, many of us are striving to decolonize our minds and live a better life.
@@YouAREyoubeYou my dear I have always respected African americans....
We know the lies the media have been telling 😄...
Am glad you and your son are doing great as well...more wins to you all...
Black American/fba not African American
I’ve heard nothing but confusion in the comments. I thought the girl was not FBA based on her name. “African American” is a loaded identifier and Black American is being used by Nigerians? Both are being thrown around by people who don’t descend from the heritage of the American slave /or FBA culture. Again, I don’t think she’s FBA based on her name. Also, how is a spelling B a high ranking measure of intelligence? I’m so tired of us having to prove our intelligence based on the dominant society. FBA had slaves inventing machines and things the world uses today and they couldn’t spell their own name or the state they lived in if it meant freedom. We have to think about using other peoples’s measuring sticks or getting drunk off other peoples’s wine. Now, congrats to her if this boosts her belief in herself. 🎉
@Francis-qf2hr just curious, what difference does that make?? I see your comment I replied to was edited. Peace!
I love the way she pirouettes after winning. So delightful.
that was the best. It was so delightful
I love her smile and spin around after she won - the joy of children is so pure, unadulterated and genuine
That spin brings me so much joy! ❤
Congratulations Beautiful and brilliant one! Ignore the haters, pursue greatness
Black excellence! Congratulations Princess Zaila 👏
All excellence matters.
@@stevenmcgillivray9283So you’re looking for all the comments that highlight black excellence with the word “black” to state your input. You’re a devil.
@@stevenmcgillivray9283 Ok, and?
@@stevenmcgillivray9283 Definitely. However you know why this is even a catchphrase if you're intelligent enough to understand. There is 0 hate in our hearts when we make statements like these - nothing like like the whypowur nonsense that immediately follows it up by spewing something about "mudraces". No one is expressing you don't matter by uttering this, no one is expressing the statement with anyone else in mind for that matter. No worries 👍
@@sssssssss111 Ok! and?
Congratulations Zaila!
In addition, I like your natural hair
I love natural hair to❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes me too💯‼️🏆👑👍🏾✌🏾🙏🏾💪🏾❤️🔥

Right on! Beautiful
Beaaaaautiful! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
She should not have to share her strategy with the world. Do others do that. Black is truly beautiful is many ways. She is a good example for others
Zaila didnt have to tell she answered the question and chose to tell, it could possibly help other children study as well.
Parents didn't prep her for that question.
She’s intelligent enough to come up with another method. Us in the african diaspora always find news ways to do things and are incredible creators and inventors.
White is truly beautiful too and so is brown. If she is first African American to win a spelling be national championship then what does that show ? It shows the lack of education .
@@serenesrn3827- Are you a white person?
Why was she even asked about her study strategies anyway😡❓
Zaila won because she out spelled everybody; her brilliance & intellect won 🏆 ‼️ Congratulations, Ms. Avant-garde❗️God will bless you with so many more amazing victories!
Calm down
@@breadman5048😅😅😅😅😅Right!

Mannered? What does that mean?
Mannered?
@@YouAREyoubeYou pleasant behavior or manner🥂
@@YouAREyoubeYou well behaved 🥂
She’s gorgeous, and seems very humble
She should never have been asked her study methods. The interviewer made her expose her advantages that helped her win. The interviewer is a typical one.
I'm annoyed by this! They are wicked!
said this was the last year she could compete, so she did not lose anything
🧐
Right! Thats what I said! Tell the others so they can try beat her! Never tell the opponent your secret/strategy!
The devil is a thief and a deceitful liar* 😡
I'm an African who lived in the US for about 30 years...came there in junior high. My minor at Howard University was African American studies. Beautiful, resilient culture that has defined American society. I have a lot of respect and admiration for all who made me so comfortable😊
Thank You, from a Black American Man, really Nice Comment!!!
Thank you, from a Black American Woman!!
@@roseblackk4747 Noted😊😊
Thank you
@@justinmatangi6406 Thank You
SALT OF THE EARTH WE ARE.BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Isn't it FUNNY how they ALWAYS try to make us THINK this is UNUSUAL! It's JEALOUSY folks. NOT racism. Racism is just a reaction of their racism.
She is literally the first African American to achieve this so how is it not unusual? Have you ever watched the Scripps National Spelling Bee…. Like, ever?
There could potentially be a lot more. African-Americans are very smart. It’s just that so many factors try to influence Black people and their children to not fulfill their potential, Including the government in America.
omg yass! she's so beautiful! I'm Aboriginal Australian. I support my African brothers and sisters. European males enslaved, colonized and subjugated our people for over three generations! European men tried to breed the melanin out of our skin! I respect you DBN for speaking out for all oppressed people globally, much love man!!!!!!!!!!
We love you 2 let us keep in touch I'm in UK 🇬🇧 but original from Africa thank you so much 👍 🙏
You are a part of our family who migrated out of Africa 60,000 years ago and I am so proud to be able to say thanks for the love and the ability to live on earth.
Whosoever shall laugh the last, shall be the winner. Stay in faith.
We love you
In 1908 Marie C. Bolden from the state of Ohio and Foundational Black American (FBA) was the first ever recipient of the national spelling bee. Google it under NPR
Absolutely fantastic. As a Black American, I'm always thrilled, when any Black identifying person excels in any positive endeavor. When one shines, it shows the rest of us our strength as the world's first people.
There is no “black identifying” person. You are either genetically tied to Africa or not. It’s not a choice.
She’s AMERICAN, you’re AFRICAN
There's nothing like a "black identifying" person. No one can identify as black. Let's stop creating room for the madness they're trying to impose on our RACE.
It's either you're black or not. You can't wake up and identify as black or white. Never heard anyone saying they identify as white and whites are carrying that narrative.
They have stolen enough. Let's not allow them to steal our RACE, too!
YES, we are Blacks and are the definition of POWER.
I'm glad you called yourself a black American, and not an African American
The ability to spell, matters to everyone.
“Zaila Avant-garde” such a beautiful, boss name! Congratulations my lil beauty! 🫶🏽
I was thinking same thing
Yes- gorgeous name. ❤
I thought the same thing! What a cool name!!
Her last name means: the advance group in any field, especially in the visual, literary, or musical arts, whose works are characterized chiefly by unorthodox and experimental methods.
YES!!! I'm so proud of this young Black African American Female, representing New Orleans, La my home town. Harvey, La is a smaller City located on the West Bank of the Mississippi River. New Orleans is on the East Bank of the Mississippi River.

Congratulations young lady! You deserve this. Don’t be so quick to give up your methods of success too just anybody.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Ohh true that.
Plot twist: she gave them the wrong method 😂😂
we has black folks need separate from these folks economically financially also when it comes education I hope this young sister does not reveals here secret because they would get all the Recognition I am sorry BP we cannot coexist with these people it’s best just separate
Ignore the divide and conquer. Its the colonizers speaking their oldest trick in the book
That lil spin when she won was so Disney princess like! She is so elegant and smart. Well done lil lady. Congrats on your win. Wish you all the best in your future. And next time keep your secrets secret 😅❤👏🏽👊🏾
Good job young sister we salute you, from South Africa.

@@Omalicha_Nwanyi may be true but when she asked you knew it was over
😫😩😂😂😂🫡❤️
Right!!
I knew when I read the title of the video 😹
What a beautiful little girl. I'm so proud of you,
Zaila Avant-garde🎉💛💐
It’s very disturbing to see Jamaicans under the comment section trying to undermine this girl’s achievements. This video is not about you. And if you’re so pressed make your own videos celebrating your own accomplishments. You may be the first scripps winner but you are not the first to ever have won a national spelling bee in America. That was a Black American girl named Marie C Bolden in 1908.
Jamaican people are overly concerned with status. They beam with pride when the spotlight is on them and they try to dim it when it is on others…they’re not like us.
They need to worry about having access to their own beaches in their country😂😂😂
@@jozejeaux3962we do have access!

@@NoName-gh5mq I don't encourage color identity. Sadly, they were kidnapped from different parts of Africa. They are African Americans. Check their DNA. Just because you wish you color them does not take their identity away. The attitude of my way, or no way, is a trait we need to drop.

Congratulations to her 🎉
She's a SWEETHEART❣️
May God always keep her, protect her & continue to bless her throughout her life. AMEN 🙏🏾
Her twirl was everything. You see how they had no problem asking the recipe to her win? Nonsense. She is adorable 😍😍😍😍
Everyone can stay mad. Black people, every where. I mean everywhere begining in Africa of course and across the diaspora are amazing when we use our full potential. We are other wordly with our excellence. I love us. God bless this cutie and her family. She earned it. ❤❤❤❤❤😅
Congrats, baby girl❤. Sending you lots of love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
