      Do you think you could do a video about the sacrifices it took to get their Ivy League schools & what their pre-college journey was like? Also dealing with the stigma of working hard for something & people trying to slide you for it? Lastly how they’re bracing for possibly even bigger goes in the future. If they’re comfortable with talking about it that is!

      The Slimey Cafeteria Thanks for bringing this up! I actually checked and believe this applies to a) public gatherings b) the actual anthem (and not a rendition/cover like I did) and c) in this case I’m acting as a representative internationally (which was one of the exceptions). This is my understanding of it but at the end of the day, I mean this with the utmost respect and pride for our country. Thank you sm for your support too❤️ www.manilatimes.net/2018/06/09/legal-advice/dearpao/the-singing-of-the-philippine-national-anthem/406545/

    Can you do an episode interviewing Native American students in the Ivy League?? Ask about transitioning from reservation, what they’re majoring in and tribe they’re from, culture shock, a Native American program at their ivy, and financial resources that have helped them?

And they at the time were protesting for the fall in fees because they’re literally so ridiculous here). I’m glad we had LJ innit though ❤️❤️

    • @ljumunna5416
      @ljumunna5416 4 года назад +2

      American barbecues are no where near as good as Braai's. Whether its the flavoring of the food (flavoring things is none existent here) , the vibe on the day, or even when they bbq it does compare to braai's. You also tend to miss the small things in braai's like the strictly South African delicacies.

    You missed representation from Latin America :( I think it is so different being a US-born Latinos studying in US universities vs. people born in Latin America that go study to the US.
