Oooh yes! It triggers something inside them sadly. We can but be real though and make a difference in the world regardless of the pain that may be thrown our way xxx
“I would rather stand in integrity and stand in change than silence myself to try and appease an algorithm.” Mic. Drop. When an influencer is willing to lose followers in order to gain nobility she has truly concurred the new world. 💖 Sending you lots of love for the courageous and brave turn. Xoxo. P.S. I have never seen you speak about anything with more passion and power. Sounds like a great plot twist to your story and the future of your channel.
This is one of the best and most authentic videos I‘ve ever seen on this platform. A declaration of kindness, empathy and reflection. It wasn‘t anything flash and that is exactly what‘s made it so special. Thank you, Sunny!
When people say, "Stay in your lane" what they are actually saying is, "Do what *I* think you should do, be what *I* think you should be, *i* am not comfortable with you doing something else." The only honest thing, the only ethical thing, is for each of us to choose our own lanes -- and that's plural because no human being is so two-dimensional that only one lane is ever correct for all time. I subscribed here for some solid business advice and the attached lifestyle suggestions, but it's beyond reassuring to know it's all coming from a real, three-dimensional, *thinking* and *feeling* human being. Thank you. :-)
It's Mazlows hierarchy playing out. She has food and shelter. She has security. She has financial freedom. Only once your basic life needs are met can you begin to look beyond self.
I would be more than happy to lose any followers that don’t like me standing up for or supporting BBIPOC. I would not want them as followers or benefiting from anything I’m offering. Boi/gurl bye! *Flicks hair.. pivots... sashay away*
This is ridiculous, I literally just learned how to do my make up and you have me in tears. I am a woman of color and this really has me feeling so grateful to be apart of your community. You are tapping into something super deep within yourself and I feel that there is an amazing type of fulfillment that your heart and soul is desiring. You are on your way. When I see you, I see authenticity , love, and genuineness . I love you. You are really going to attract your tribe. This message and many others are the beginning of many shifts and heart openings. Thank you Sunny for staying true. What a precious being! 😘😘 @sunny
Thank you for this!!!!!! I’m the most anxious I’ve ever been in my life. I feel frustrated! I’m the most tearful in my life. I happened to be in a Circle K this evening and a cop walked in, a white cop. I turned to him and said, “thank you for your service”. I’m a black woman. He thanked me and said it really, really meant a lot to him. He was genuine about it. We then did an elbow bump. We BOTH needed it. It seemed liked our souls connected because of our shared common pain related to unrest. In no way do I support police brutality against young black men but I also want to see peace in our country.
"When you can't see, you can't agree." Very well said Sunny. I am a black woman and I was not surprised when you spoke up about George Floyd. Your personality shows through your content and I could always tell that you sincerely want to help people. However, I was a bit worried for you. Most of your following is white entrepreneurs who benefit greatly from their privilege. I suspected that you would lose a lot of them. But, that's not necessarily a bad thing... You'll gain people who will greatly benefit from the services you provide, and will be a lot more appreciative for it. Thanks for speaking up for us Sunny, and thanks for your content! It's been super helpful to me in my journey to grow this channel. 🤗🖤
This is exactly how I felt watching this video and I just recently started following Sunny there was something about her transparency and this here shows her genuine self💗
Hey, thanks for your help on s.m./ this world has been isolating us on the truth not just ours but all of us. The time has come to step up to this reality. Keep up with the good things in life , stay true to your better side of you. The answer is out there. Love one another.
Sunny, I'm a hispanic religious leader. I recently jumped into the Sunny wagon. I do non-monetized videos about truth, love, reconciliation, peace, and justice. You have helped me talk about George Floyd and you didn't even know it. You support many people, and I had also thought about the risks of speaking out vs. Playing to the algorithm. We need more people thinking about this. Otherwise culture will not move forward. Thank you for your voice, thank you for your support. You became a light in the dark when you decided to speak up! It's very moving to see your courage, and very hopeful. I'm not going to lie. I teared up a little bit with joy hearing you speak up! Keep up the good work.
This seems a bit like when the Dixie Chicks spoke up. “Stay in your lane” is a lot like “Shut up and sing”! Do you Sunny. Be authentic. Your true tribe will stick by you.
I have been following you for a while and I have never seen you be sooo raw and courageous. the level of respect I have for you in this moment is unprecedented! You may loose those followers but you will gain great leaders! Keep polishing your crafts and keep being you #YouAreLoved♥️💯
As a woman of color I appreciate you speaking up. I hate that you lost supporters because you decided to speak up and not bury your head in the sand. If that's all it took to unfollow you than they weren't really supporters anyway. 👍
Very well said, couldn’t agree more. Think of how great the world would be if everyone was kinder, more tolerant, & more understanding of each other.....hopefully we are finally in a time of seeing change like this occur.
Raymond Knows... Like I always say, "we are all in this together and we only get one lap around so we have to make the best of it".. We shouldn't be so worried about someones skin color. All races have good and bad people in them, we need to get rid of the bad ones. And stop hating people just because of the color of their skin. Sunny does have a very beautiful smile..
"There isn't anyone you couldn't love once you heard their story." We need to listen to understand and intentionally seek out perspectives that are different from our own. Not to debate, prove our own opinion, feed our own ego...but to understand a human experience that may be wildly different from our own. Imagine what could be if more of us did so! Thank you for your leadership, Sunny. 💜💙💚💛
Love this! ❤️️It takes people outside of the black community to speak about injustice to effectively change the systems that have been oppressive for so long. ✊🏽
Honestly this video is literally my struggle with social media and being a youtuber. It's hard to not live up to the bubble people have put you in. I had to unplug until a current scandal triggered me but anyway thanks for sharing.
Yes I have done this when it came to the pandemic. My anxiety got so bad I had to put my phone away, but it was the opposite with George Floyd, I wanted to do more and help.
I love how people say we're all in this together yeah we'll go wear a Maga hat and walk down the street find out if you're in it together and you're part of all of we the people on this planet yeah right ahead wear a Maga hat I dare you put a trump bumper sticker on your vehicle run your business go ahead and then say something so naively stupid as we're all in this together I don't think so go ahead I dare you to wear a Maga hat down the street see what happens to you see how kind and gentle people are yeah face facts man people are mean and miserable and unhappy in and dishonest and we aren't all in this together that's a bunch of crap good luck on your fantasy go ahead wear a Maga hat walk down the street I dare you other white then shut up if you're not going to face reality
Honestly this is most of our reality, i create videos literally my struggle with social media is that no one is watching and being a new you-tuber it sooooooooo damm hard when opportunity are not granted. I wished people will support small you-tubers like myself and help us grow. My prayers is the God will open doors for all of us to be able to utlize this platform as many other has and bless many around the world. Well wishing all you guys the best. Much Love.
Sunny, I loved this video. I am in a similar spot. I have a RUclips channel of 375,000 subs where I teach people the Bible. But I’m also a black man. I’ve been criticized for using my platform to speak up as well. I REFUSE TO BE PUT IN A BOX AND BE WHO PEOPLE WANT ME TO BE. let the followers fall off. It’s their loss not yours. Those are NOT the types of people you want following you and doing business with you. Continue to be a voice for those who may not have a voice. Let me say this. People who have a problem with what you’re doing do so because they don’t want to be challenged to change how they think. They want you to stay silent because the more you speak up it challenges them to have to speak up as well. It challenges them to have to do some serious soul searching and most people aren’t willing to do that. Kudos to you for actually being a decent human being and caring about others who may be different than you.
you're not a black man, you are a beautiful soul experiencing life in the body of a black man .... as I am a beautiful soul experiencing life in the body of a white woman..., we're all children under god and it's time we see who and what we really are... never let yourself be pushed in a box, never stop speaking up and never stop loving
Hi Sunny, never be sad for loosing followers because the impact you are making on being brave to speak up you mind regarding important matters is WAY bigger than that. You are a social media master and I feel so inspired that you are willing to use it for something bigger, something that transcends pure social media knowledge. I've learned so much from your channel and it inspired me to create mine and I really appreciate that you are sharing with us this human side 💝 Best of all!
"I would rather lose followers. . .lose subscribers. . . and stand in integrity and in a change than to silence myself to appease an algorithm" This was the line!!! Lead with love and integrity. LISTEN to others without judgement and pretences. Everything else will align because you're leading with your heart. Sunny this was really good and while you may have lost a few people you'll eventually triple those numbers because you're leading with love.
When we submit ourselves to the so-called "algorithm" we lose our soul. Your message here is beautiful Sunny - be authentic, offer your heart, and your growth (both personal and social media) would be healthy and right
This is so true! As a new YT'ber, this is how I feel...it feels like, live in your purpose and passion OR submit to the "algorithm" for $$ gain. This video is encouraging and my confirmation that I will NOT choose the latter! 🙏🏼
Honestly, although I have watched you for a while, this is the first time I've felt a real connection to you as opposed to watching to get advice or info. Thank you xx
Great video Sunny. I have done the same thing, speaking out in support of #BlackLivesMatter. A HUGE backlash .. LOTS of unsubscribes. I agree with your suggestion of using your platform in a much more intentional way. You offer so much valuable, free information, which is been so helpful to me personally , and I know hundreds of thousands of others. If some of them take such an issue with you expressing strong beliefs, then it is their loss. This has given me a push to keep voicing my support of positive change.
Your different thumbnail caught my eye. I feel 100% everything that you feel right now. Thank you for giving us the unedited version of you. This is why I continue to support you.
The more I see of you the more I appreciate and respect you. Integrity and empathy; two very important values. Good on you for taking the stand you are taking. Thank you for being so real. 💖💖
when I was a child I remember reading a quote which said 'what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't feel' most people don't want to see so that they don't have to feel.
And what they will feel in this case is that these atrocities are actually happening. It makes them uncomfortable. Everything is fine as long as the pain is not brought into their world. Well we are on the receiving end of this pain and we cannot keep silent anymore so they can have peace.
Thank you for speaking out! LOVE THIS! I’ve always been a fan of yours and now I love you a million times more for being honest about how you feel, using your voice, and not caring about the negative and financial impact it has had on your career. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. For some people, this is all just politics. What a privilege to be able to diminish the real life experiences and trauma of real people as merely politics. As a black woman, that is a trigger for me. Having to validate my own existence and experiences to people who don’t have to acknowledge it if they don’t choose, and would just like to go on, business as usual, entertainment as usual, as if none of this is real life.
"What a privilege to be able to dismiss the real life experiences and trauma of real people as merely politics" This is such an eloquent description of privilege that so many are blind to. Would you mind if I quoted your comment on my own social media platform? I can anonymise it if you wish. Please say no if you'd rather I didn't.
I have been happy to see the numbers go down, because that means the list and I share cares and values and not hate and fear.. it does suck that many were friends and family, but you have to prune the bush to get the best roses, unfortunately... Just more in our face , of late
It’s because they are not on the receiving end of these horrible atrocities. Aa long as it doesn’t effect them, all is well as far as they are concerned.
In times like these "CHANGE" is painful for everyone on both sides, especially for those on the wrong side of it... The fact that you've stood up and said what was on your heart, all the good and positivity is on your side... Speaking out about something that is wrong a lot of times brings with it great loss, but that loss you incur will later bring about great gain because all that you have done and are doing will align with the right things that actually match your morals and beliefs... It's the way the Universe works... Sunny, I know it's frustrating and hurtful, but in the long run you are helping to contribute to making the world a better place!💯
Thank you so much for standing with us! It means so much, words can't describe it! This earth has never seen love like this! We need to stand together to fight this.💙💚❤️🖤 I know you'll get back everything you lost doubled! I send you all the love and light your spirit can hold! Thank you with my entire heart, my soul sends you love. Thank you!
Sunny, this is the first time iam seeing u like this and this is the first time commenting on your video. I was always been your followers and but never felt this close to you before. You ar an amazing human being. I think it's time to use our voice and make difference in the World. Love u and do what u believe.
Integrity and authenticity is everything which is what drew me to you from the start and will keep me here. Thank you for bravely sharing your voice in ways that inspire positive change in ways that matter way beyond algorithms.
Sunny, I can't remember who said it, but I once heard a version of this statement. It's better to be disliked for being who you truly are, than loved for being who you are not. Thank you for caring and sharing.
You’re the best of the influencers and coaches who’s very honest and open to say anything that is valuable to our success. This doesn’t mean that you cannot release your feelings on your social media channels. You’ve all the right. I’m very happy following you and listening to you. You’re amazing. Thank you so much.
So much respect. 4 weeks ago I told my RUclips editor I am ditching the algorithm. I am speaking to what I care about. I have been a therapist for over 18 years and worked with so many individuals, there is so much emotion coming into the world. This is the way we create lasting change. All of us showing up and growing.
Sunny!!!!♥️ This is exactly what I have been thinking. I actually joined RUclips to speak out and not mute my voice!! Regardless of what others have to say. In addition, I joined to let persons who are suffering from anxiety and depression know they are not alone. Stand strong 💪💞
It’s your channel to be you. If someone doesn’t like it or your message, they can move along. Can you imagine sustainable love, respect & compassion globally? Would be so amazing.✌🏻
So much respect for you speaking out and mobilizing your platform for what you believe in. You’re absolutely right - social media is designed to reflect back and amplify what we already know and believe. This is such a complex issue - and I’m glad you’re considering what you can do to help it.
I've been contemplating finally using my voice on social media and between Garyvee's content and this video I feel compelled to finally follow through. My concerns have been "the algorithm" and sticking to a niche. I feel like that is so limiting to my message. Seeing you do the right thing and speaking up gives me the courage that I can speak up and the right audience will find me. Thank you for speaking your truth and considering a shift, however that looks for you. Much love
I love love love that you are a coach and a leader but I also love that you’re not afraid to speak on issues that this community is dealing with. Sending love to you and every other boss!!! 🖤🖤🖤
I've admired you for everything you've been doing on social media, educating people for free, inspiring us, motivating us, everything. But I admire you EVEN MORE now for speaking up courageously, saying sorry, and using your platform to make an impact and spread this message - one of the most important messages in the world. ❤️🙏
Sunny I love your heart.....I belive there are a lot of vanity metrics on social media and we all are going through a form of pain right now. Thank you so much for this. I think it's time to burst my bubble and that of my community. The 💗 much love from Nigeria.
Dear SUNNY i'm Lia from Israel, deffenenly one of the most problematic countries in the world. Over the last months I follow you, took your wonderfull course and asked myself who really are, what are the non - business values that drive you foreword, couse I got basically just one side of you, it is so narrow for me. For me, This video was the most powerful, human, loving and full of truth you ever reliesed, most inspirig for the strugle you presented at those changing times. So I speak here for the fisrt time to tell you this: Keep going dear woman, this are the things great leaders do- they listen to the Human Heart, and pull the vision out loud and out to the sun. Thats why you are called Sunny, right? Big apriciation & love from Israel . Yours, Lia
I was meant to see this post today. Thank you, Sunny. All that you share completely resonates with me and has empowered me to use my voice and my art to speak up about my own journey in this life no matter how off the beaten path it may be. I look forward to seeing how your channel evolves. Thank you for speaking your truth.
Sunny, bless your beautiful heart. Thank you for sharing with us. And please, don't give away any of your power. I know on social media, a majority of the comments I've received over the years were filled with hate, slanderous, and even at times threatening. Brush it off and keep moving forward. There's a lot of people that appreciate you and what you have to offer to the world. Please never discount yourself, your feelings, or anything. The points you made, especially about the commonality between everyone. It's true. But, you can only control what's in your own life. Not anyone else. Sunny, sending you and your family healing goodness your way.
This is a heavy energy time in the world. Thanks for this video. When people judge your motives and take offense they are the hurting ones. Keep being you.
Exactly Gretchen. The most relief I have ever received was when I realized that the people who hate black people are the ones that need help. It has to be hard to harbor so much hate.
I love when white folks or any race admits the truth and speaks up in the time when black folks need a voice. This video surprised me and to hear you speak in a raw way and to empathize and to admit your white privilege....most don't want to admit that. Thanks...keep ur head up...and talk to more white folks and see where there head is at....because we have to continue this conversation for all...
@Justin Kerns Hello Justin, my definition of white privilege is able to benefit of education , job opportunities, having a positive interaction with police "they don't take a second look"... and most school provide more history in the white perspective of history. That's just a little which there are more.... I'm not sure why you ask my age, but I have a 20 year old so I seen alot and been through alot as well. Thanks
@@thevantran148 Look up the relative percentages. It's not the raw numbers that matter; it's the percentages. White privilege doesn't mean you haven't had a hard life. It means your life isn't HARDER because of the color of your skin.
“That says more about you than it does me” -Yes, girl! You said it! You are so right about the flaws, dangers and pitfalls of social media. It’s either fluff or furious. It’s almost there’s no in between. My husband always says, “You’ll never win online” when it comes to those disagreements. I agree with him. It seems to be impossible to have creative, productive discourse there.
I'm so happy you spoke up. I am Hispanic and I fight my self because I am prejudiced against white people. I know its wrong intellectually but with so much going on I find my self not trusting them. But when I see people like you it just reinforces the fact that im wrong. Id love nothing more than a society where we all get along and love one another. I think someday in a far future this can happen. But if not only white people, but all races come out and voice the issues to work thru them. I have my share to work thru to better my self. Oh and btw.. You ARE in your lane. Dont let anyone make you think otherwise. You've been a huge help in my youtube endeavours.
I rarely comment on RUclips videos but after watching you video on TV I've logged on on my laptop especially just to say thank you for sharing this. One of the good things to come out of all this is finding out just how many people I follow on social media who are good, wholesome people whose hearts are in the right place and who want to make the world a better place. Again, thank you for sharing and good luck with the new direction.
This video was so enlightening and so powerful. I’m so happy you spoke up on your truth ❤️ once again showed me that there was a reason I subscribed to you ( here always ❤️ ) I LOVE my fellow honest , loving and caring content creators.
@@SunnyLenarduzzi IT'S AWESOME that you spoke up sis! Those people that stopped following you were never actually following YOU. They were just decorating your account with their useless presence. Black lives matter and your voice definitely matters when you use it for positivity. Keep growing
Thank you for being so transparent! This is a time for all of us to learn, unlearn and most importantly grow. I actually had goosebumps watching this! I think being human is feeling pain when other people are experiencing pain. No matter the background, race, religion, sexual orientation or whatever. We should all BE KIND to one another. Its really should not be that hard! But I think we as a society have this sense of apathy. We are all comfortable in our bubble and numb to other peoples suffering- and that is wrong! So again THANK YOU for speaking up! Sending so much LOVE to everyone who is feeling pain right now.
Well done Sista! You gotta be your authentic self. The awakening has begun. So much to discuss. We must speak our truth and choose love. Thank-you for your honesty.Almighty Father peace and blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🧘🏽♀️🌻😘💕🎶💪🏾x
Sunny to be honest I haven’t been following your Instagram or RUclips channel much, although I’m a subscriber. And after hearing your beautiful heart speak through such raw and organic vulnerability, I want you to know how much I respect you and support you!!! I truthfully have been having the same illuminating revaluations and I have been speaking up about human rights on my Twitter and TikTok because I can no longer be a bystander. This isn’t about religion or politics. It’s about humanity. And humanity, fighting for human rights, is 100000% something I stand by and will use my voice for too. It’s our responsibility as human beings to fight for our race, every single member within it. And when we join forces we will create change and make magic TOGETHER ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿✊
Thank you so much for sharing this! I've always had a hard time posting on social media for my business since I'm not a fan of exposing my life behind the scenes, but I always have that little 'birdie' in my mind telling me that if I do do it, I'll connect with my audience on a deeper level. However, with the greater love, there's also more hate unfortunately
sunny i hear you, but as a black man. There are some people who don't want to listen. Sunny I LOVE you because I feel how genuine you are. There are some (majority, not all) white people who don't bother listening. Some people don't acknowledge white privilege & the pains of real life, outside of one's bubble
I agree that some don't want to listen. Life's too easy the way it is and they either don't get it or aren't willing to consider anything outside their own experience I think this is EXACTLY why Sunny stepping out and making an honest video about this where she's DECIDING to step beyond the boundaries of "what's acceptable" and doesn't bruise the bubble of those you mentioned is a powerful choice. This video can have a domino effect and encourage white people to be more honest about supporting Black Lives Matter and equality of humanity in general AND (possibly) encourage those who NEVER considered their white privilege before to finally do so. It's time. The time has come to address the overt racism that still exists (it's a HUGE problem where I live and has cost the lives of many young people to suicide and that has been whitewashed and swept under the carpet until now). This movement is working, people are admitting that there IS a problem. We're deflating the bubble some white folks are living in. It's not gonna happen overnight but steps like this as Sunny has taken here truly add up and can have (are having) a positive ripple effect.
Not just some white people unfortunately. I've been shocked by my own family on my black side that are spewing the same nonsense that some white people are spewing about privilege doesn't exist. Ive even voiced I have light skinned privilege and don't understand how others can't see their own privilege.
Hey Sunny, I appreciate this video. I’m using my platform (RUclips and Instagram) to change the educational system as we know it. Because we need financial education in our school system. So I’m totally in line with what you’re saying 💪🏼 use your platforms to make a positive difference in the world ❤️
I think that everybody could benefit from listening to people that they don't agree with. Reflecting on what they are saying before responding negatively. As you mentioned, social media only shows you what you agree with. What would you think if social media constantly sent you what your "opponents" see on their newsfeeds? Food for thought
I don't wait for Social Media to do it for me. I actively seek out other perspectives because you can't trust social media, or the news media, to give you enough information to make an informed decision.
This is the best video I’ve seen all year. I’ve been subscribed to you for a couple years now. I now have so much more respect for you. *Thank you for using your voice for conversations like this.*
Deleting your social media doesn't earse the problem on hand. You now just become ignorant to the situation. Use your voice for any injustice happening around the world.
@@SimoneandPat I haven't deleted my social media. I just spend less time comparing, waiting for likes, and wasting my soul. I use it now to listen and put important content out. Just deleted the fluff.
You'll loose some, you'll gain many. Thanks for being yourself and standing tall. Ive followed you for years and this is the most connected to you I've felt. From a red pill popper to the Sunny fam bosses, stay golden!
@@monicamcgahan Unfortunately, the "All lives matter" chant was introduced by White Supremacists. It's message is NOT, 'Stop shooting and killing white people, for just standing there and being white." It's TRUE meaning is, "Stop saying 'Black Lives Matter." It is 100% a racist statement, aimed at hurting the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
Greatly appreciate your honesty! You CARE and that will be used to keep you moving FORWARD! Trying to launch my first online course...“Real Peace and Purpose in Life!” You just gave me further confirmation it is needed and needed NOW! God bless you!
Me: Sunny's thumbnail looks super serious! I should support her immediately!!!! I was so miserable for the past few days. Thank you for sharing your honest opinion. Remember, you are not alone!
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. For a lot of us fans out there who are small RUclipsrs like me, we are feeling it too! As someone in the arts and crafts space, I’m trying to be positive, but the reality is there is so much going on in the world.
To God be the glory! You have blessed my heart, because you where blessed to see and feel the pain. My heart connected with you, in every lesson their is a blessing, the blessing is on the way, time frame I cannot say but God did not bring us this far to leave us, love ya❤️
I love this so much. I really liked your channel at first but I love it even more now. It’s rare when I don’t skip through videos. I listened the whole way through. You using your platform to get a message out there means a lot to many people, including me.❤️
Sunny I must say that I followed your reaction throughout the initial stages following the George Floyd death and I was humbled by how you showed up. A lot of us, myself included are rethinking social media and how we are using our voices and our platforms. Love what you are doing. Thanks for fighting the good fight.
Could see the pain in your eyes. Like you said-our pain connects us. I felt you❤ Your vulnerability is your power. It helps you grow. And boy this video showed growth from voicing an opinion. I am inspired ❤
I hope that this blows up for people to see this and change their views. This is just heartwarming and real. Many love to you Sunny and the world during these times. Let this energy spread towards the world❤❤❤
Sunny, I don’t know if I’ve ever commented on your videos although I’ve watched them for a long time. I’m so proud of you to see you have this awakening and be so brave to leave your comfort zone. Well done, keep going in this direction. You are powerful and smart, so you will create change and create meaning in the world. 🙏❤️
I enjoy your social media content a whole lot but I enjoy you being an ally to the Black Community more :) Thank you for sharing and being so open. 💛✊🏽
Thank you! I'm hurting every day because I feel my people's pain. And it bothered me to see people " stay in their bubble" and turn a blind eye. As a sub, Thank you for opening up and embracing the pain. Because it hurts, soo bad.
Thank you for speaking from your heart. Your honesty and ability to communicate about seeing the events that have recently happened is refreshing. Your thoughts on changes to your social media channel is a good pivot. It shows you are listening and understanding. I will continue to follow your channel.
Well said. Black lives matter. And every time I say that out loud, I lose followers too. And you’re right: that doesn’t matter at all. Speaking up is important. Thank you and take care. 💚
When you speak up of "Black Lives Matter" and end up loosing a bunch of followers what does that tell you...like it or not RACISM is here to stay. To taclke it, we need people like you. Thank you and keep up.
It is not "here to stay". It's here right now. But it doesn't have to stay this way. We just have to face the fact that we are not done evolving as a society. The work goes on.
Richard Ellis of course they do. Who said they don't? Do you think bringing them under her video deflects from the point and focus on the current work we as a nation have to do to make it so that racism dies? I mean we can mourn deaths of officers while demanding the end of racism at the same! time! Officers have a tough job in a field they CHOSE to enter and we are grateful for their CHOICE and mourn their deaths year in and year out when one dies in the line of DUTY. However,We are talking about the people who didn't choose their race yet because of it are subject to daily, systemic and routine racism.
Words cannot describe how it makes you feel to see you sharing your feelings and using your platforms to address what's going on in world and has been going on. Thank You! #BlackLivesMatter and YES WE ALL MATTER But Black Lives need your help!!!!
Hi Sunny. I never comment on your videos but here I am now. Thanks to you my channel grew to 52K subs in last 2 years. I watched your videos in the beginning which showed me the right direction so thank you for that. I am having exactly the same thoughts and same confusion as you are. My channel is about tech and I did loose lots of subs in last 24 hours because very silly I used different smartphone gimbal then usually. I am feeling anger between people on social media and also here on youtube. The world is not healthy... not because of covid… people are stressed, miserable, scared, have anxiety, afraid of future... You have said it well in this video. I loved seeing you being you... all the respect to you. I am also rethinking the social media myself.... wishing you only the best.
Thanks so much for watching! ❤️ *_Your voice matters. Your story matters._*
Thanks to you for posting such excellent videos for us
Thanks for posting 🙏🏾
Love you Sunny! Love the lioness mane. 🦁
As always amazing stuff 😍
You are the best
I learned a long time ago that when you speak with integrity, those without it will be deeply offended. Keep doing the right thing Sunny.
💯 agree.
Oooh yes! It triggers something inside them sadly. We can but be real though and make a difference in the world regardless of the pain that may be thrown our way xxx
100% agree. Just because you have integrity and care does not mean that everyone does. Someone that wants to get offended easily gets offended.
Thank you! Love this ❤️
100% agree!!
As a black creator who has followed you from the beginning of my RUclips journey (covering this very subject)... Thank you... Thank you so much 🖤✊🏾
“I would rather stand in integrity and stand in change than silence myself to try and appease an algorithm.”
Mic. Drop. When an influencer is willing to lose followers in order to gain nobility she has truly concurred the new world. 💖 Sending you lots of love for the courageous and brave turn. Xoxo.
P.S. I have never seen you speak about anything with more passion and power. Sounds like a great plot twist to your story and the future of your channel.
This means so much to hear 💛
This is one of the best and most authentic videos I‘ve ever seen on this platform. A declaration of kindness, empathy and reflection. It wasn‘t anything flash and that is exactly what‘s made it so special. Thank you, Sunny!
This means SO much, thank you 💛
"2020 is disrupting our perfection and our superficial lives" - this speaks volumes!
Landsharkz this resonated with me too!
OMG YESSSSS
True ✔️
Yessss so accurate
Big facts ✅✅✅
When people say, "Stay in your lane" what they are actually saying is, "Do what *I* think you should do, be what *I* think you should be, *i* am not comfortable with you doing something else." The only honest thing, the only ethical thing, is for each of us to choose our own lanes -- and that's plural because no human being is so two-dimensional that only one lane is ever correct for all time.
I subscribed here for some solid business advice and the attached lifestyle suggestions, but it's beyond reassuring to know it's all coming from a real, three-dimensional, *thinking* and *feeling* human being. Thank you. :-)
This first paragraph, masses should read it!
@@DaisyObserver Thank you! (he says, somewhat shocked... LOL)
Yes mehnnn
Sunny, what you're going through is higher purpose discovery and that's where happiness, fulfillment, and peace lies! Cheers
Yesssss, that's exactly what it is..
100%
This is very powerful. I think you have a higher purpose. I admired you before. I admire you more. You have a heart
It's Mazlows hierarchy playing out. She has food and shelter. She has security. She has financial freedom. Only once your basic life needs are met can you begin to look beyond self.
Amen!
I would be more than happy to lose any followers that don’t like me standing up for or supporting BBIPOC. I would not want them as followers or benefiting from anything I’m offering.
Boi/gurl bye!
*Flicks hair.. pivots... sashay away*
Hahaha I love the sashay away. Indeed✊🏼
I love the energy! 😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love this
Yessss
Shayshay away!! LOVED IT!!!
This is ridiculous, I literally just learned how to do my make up and you have me in tears. I am a woman of color and this really has me feeling so grateful to be apart of your community. You are tapping into something super deep within yourself and I feel that there is an amazing type of fulfillment that your heart and soul is desiring. You are on your way. When I see you, I see authenticity , love, and genuineness . I love you. You are really going to attract your tribe. This message and many others are the beginning of many shifts and heart openings. Thank you Sunny for staying true. What a precious being! 😘😘 @sunny
Thank you for this!!!!!! I’m the most anxious I’ve ever been in my life. I feel frustrated! I’m the most tearful in my life. I happened to be in a Circle K this evening and a cop walked in, a white cop. I turned to him and said, “thank you for your service”. I’m a black woman. He thanked me and said it really, really meant a lot to him. He was genuine about it. We then did an elbow bump. We BOTH needed it. It seemed liked our souls connected because of our shared common pain related to unrest. In no way do I support police brutality against young black men but I also want to see peace in our country.
That was such a kind and thoughtful thing to do. I bet that your thanks will help him be the best cop that he can be. Love from Dublin Ireland🥰
Awesome. Thank you for sharing this.
It’s a dark time. I long for a day when oppression is a thing of the past.
That is a lovely moment of connection. Thank you for sharing it. Sending love from Australia.
That’s awesome, so awesome, thanks for being brave and doing that 💜💜💜
"When you can't see, you can't agree." Very well said Sunny. I am a black woman and I was not surprised when you spoke up about George Floyd. Your personality shows through your content and I could always tell that you sincerely want to help people. However, I was a bit worried for you. Most of your following is white entrepreneurs who benefit greatly from their privilege. I suspected that you would lose a lot of them. But, that's not necessarily a bad thing... You'll gain people who will greatly benefit from the services you provide, and will be a lot more appreciative for it. Thanks for speaking up for us Sunny, and thanks for your content! It's been super helpful to me in my journey to grow this channel. 🤗🖤
100% AGREED. well said fit by crystal! Your sincere and caring personality will always shine through Sunny.
This is exactly how I felt watching this video and I just recently started following Sunny there was something about her transparency and this here shows her genuine self💗
I agree!
Top-notch
I totally agree! Thanks so much Sunny! I am so proud of you as a fellow Canadian!
“If you have a strong purpose in life, you don't have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.”
― Roy T. Bennett
Hey, thanks for your help on s.m./ this world has been isolating us on the truth not just ours but all of us. The time has come to step up to this reality. Keep up with the good things in life , stay true to your better side of you. The answer is out there. Love one another.
Heck yea
Sunny, I'm a hispanic religious leader. I recently jumped into the Sunny wagon. I do non-monetized videos about truth, love, reconciliation, peace, and justice. You have helped me talk about George Floyd and you didn't even know it. You support many people, and I had also thought about the risks of speaking out vs. Playing to the algorithm. We need more people thinking about this. Otherwise culture will not move forward. Thank you for your voice, thank you for your support. You became a light in the dark when you decided to speak up! It's very moving to see your courage, and very hopeful. I'm not going to lie. I teared up a little bit with joy hearing you speak up! Keep up the good work.
I wholeheartedly agree!
This seems a bit like when the Dixie Chicks spoke up. “Stay in your lane” is a lot like “Shut up and sing”! Do you Sunny. Be authentic. Your true tribe will stick by you.
appreciate you more than you know!
I looooovvwee them! Love em! Since I was a child, they have beeen my heroes cause they always did the right thing and I love em!
I have been following you for a while and I have never seen you be sooo raw and courageous. the level of respect I have for you in this moment is unprecedented! You may loose those followers but you will gain great leaders! Keep polishing your crafts and keep being you #YouAreLoved♥️💯
Thanks so much! I appreciate you ❤️
“You may lose those followers but you will gain great leaders!”
💖 So much YES to this!
@@SylviaFerrero Facts!🙏
The fact that you made this video shows how much you are moving to a new level in what you do, and for a bigger purpose. thank you Sunny.
As a woman of color I appreciate you speaking up. I hate that you lost supporters because you decided to speak up and not bury your head in the sand. If that's all it took to unfollow you than they weren't really supporters anyway. 👍
Yassssss
Amen!
I agree
Yep!
Thenoseysoutherner Well you don’t want people like that following you anyways!,
What a world... Getting attacked for being human and having feelings. Crush the hate and intolerance the Sunny way, with a smile!
Very well said, couldn’t agree more. Think of how great the world would be if everyone was kinder, more tolerant, & more understanding of each other.....hopefully we are finally in a time of seeing change like this occur.
Raymond Knows... Like I always say, "we are all in this together and we only get one lap around so we have to make the best of it".. We shouldn't be so worried about someones skin color. All races have good and bad people in them, we need to get rid of the bad ones. And stop hating people just because of the color of their skin. Sunny does have a very beautiful smile..
"There isn't anyone you couldn't love once you heard their story." We need to listen to understand and intentionally seek out perspectives that are different from our own. Not to debate, prove our own opinion, feed our own ego...but to understand a human experience that may be wildly different from our own. Imagine what could be if more of us did so! Thank you for your leadership, Sunny. 💜💙💚💛
Love this! ❤️️It takes people outside of the black community to speak about injustice to effectively change the systems that have been oppressive for so long. ✊🏽
Honestly this video is literally my struggle with social media and being a youtuber. It's hard to not live up to the bubble people have put you in. I had to unplug until a current scandal triggered me but anyway thanks for sharing.
I feel the same to. Like I must stay in my lane. x
Yes I have done this when it came to the pandemic. My anxiety got so bad I had to put my phone away, but it was the opposite with George Floyd, I wanted to do more and help.
I’m right there with you. I needed a social break as well. This video was so honest and helpful. I’m going to do a vlog today.
I love how people say we're all in this together yeah we'll go wear a Maga hat and walk down the street find out if you're in it together and you're part of all of we the people on this planet yeah right ahead wear a Maga hat I dare you put a trump bumper sticker on your vehicle run your business go ahead and then say something so naively stupid as we're all in this together I don't think so go ahead I dare you to wear a Maga hat down the street see what happens to you see how kind and gentle people are yeah face facts man people are mean and miserable and unhappy in and dishonest and we aren't all in this together that's a bunch of crap good luck on your fantasy go ahead wear a Maga hat walk down the street I dare you other white then shut up if you're not going to face reality
Honestly this is most of our reality, i create videos literally my struggle with social media is that no one is watching and being a new you-tuber it sooooooooo damm hard when opportunity are not granted. I wished people will support small you-tubers like myself and help us grow. My prayers is the God will open doors for all of us to be able to utlize this platform as many other has and bless many around the world. Well wishing all you guys the best. Much Love.
Sunny, I loved this video. I am in a similar spot. I have a RUclips channel of 375,000 subs where I teach people the Bible. But I’m also a black man. I’ve been criticized for using my platform to speak up as well. I REFUSE TO BE PUT IN A BOX AND BE WHO PEOPLE WANT ME TO BE. let the followers fall off. It’s their loss not yours. Those are NOT the types of people you want following you and doing business with you. Continue to be a voice for those who may not have a voice. Let me say this. People who have a problem with what you’re doing do so because they don’t want to be challenged to change how they think. They want you to stay silent because the more you speak up it challenges them to have to speak up as well. It challenges them to have to do some serious soul searching and most people aren’t willing to do that. Kudos to you for actually being a decent human being and caring about others who may be different than you.
you're not a black man, you are a beautiful soul experiencing life in the body of a black man .... as I am a beautiful soul experiencing life in the body of a white woman..., we're all children under god and it's time we see who and what we really are... never let yourself be pushed in a box, never stop speaking up and never stop loving
We need a heart button on You Tube. Let me just put this here. ❤️
Christine Fox TV - Dog Trainer and Entrepreneur beautiful!
AMEN! Beautifully said!
Wise words
Hi Sunny, never be sad for loosing followers because the impact you are making on being brave to speak up you mind regarding important matters is WAY bigger than that. You are a social media master and I feel so inspired that you are willing to use it for something bigger, something that transcends pure social media knowledge. I've learned so much from your channel and it inspired me to create mine and I really appreciate that you are sharing with us this human side 💝 Best of all!
"I would rather lose followers. . .lose subscribers. . . and stand in integrity and in a change than to silence myself to appease an algorithm" This was the line!!! Lead with love and integrity. LISTEN to others without judgement and pretences. Everything else will align because you're leading with your heart. Sunny this was really good and while you may have lost a few people you'll eventually triple those numbers because you're leading with love.
When we submit ourselves to the so-called "algorithm" we lose our soul. Your message here is beautiful Sunny - be authentic, offer your heart, and your growth (both personal and social media) would be healthy and right

Great 👍 point
Wow this is well said
Exactly. I feel like I still got a job whenever I do that. I can’t sell my soul to an algorithm.
This is so true! As a new YT'ber, this is how I feel...it feels like, live in your purpose and passion OR submit to the "algorithm" for $$ gain. This video is encouraging and my confirmation that I will NOT choose the latter! 🙏🏼
Thank you for being real and NOT "staying in your lane", you have a right to speak your truth!
The algorithm is trying to be what you already are: Human. Thank you.
Honestly, although I have watched you for a while, this is the first time I've felt a real connection to you as opposed to watching to get advice or info. Thank you xx
this means so much, thank you 💛
Great video Sunny. I have done the same thing, speaking out in support of #BlackLivesMatter. A HUGE backlash .. LOTS of unsubscribes. I agree with your suggestion of using your platform in a much more intentional way. You offer so much valuable, free information, which is been so helpful to me personally , and I know hundreds of thousands of others. If some of them take such an issue with you expressing strong beliefs, then it is their loss. This has given me a push to keep voicing my support of positive change.
🙌🏻 Yesss!
Your different thumbnail caught my eye. I feel 100% everything that you feel right now. Thank you for giving us the unedited version of you. This is why I continue to support you.
The more I see of you the more I appreciate and respect you. Integrity and empathy; two very important values. Good on you for taking the stand you are taking. Thank you for being so real. 💖💖
when I was a child I remember reading a quote which said 'what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't feel' most people don't want to see so that they don't have to feel.
Wow. That’s such a deep quote. I agree, “most people don’t want to see so that they don’t have to feel”. Well said
And what they will feel in this case is that these atrocities are actually happening. It makes them uncomfortable. Everything is fine as long as the pain is not brought into their world. Well we are on the receiving end of this pain and we cannot keep silent anymore so they can have peace.
It’s great you lost those followers. Those are not your true fans anyway.
Thank you for speaking out! LOVE THIS! I’ve always been a fan of yours and now I love you a million times more for being honest about how you feel, using your voice, and not caring about the negative and financial impact it has had on your career. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. For some people, this is all just politics. What a privilege to be able to diminish the real life experiences and trauma of real people as merely politics. As a black woman, that is a trigger for me. Having to validate my own existence and experiences to people who don’t have to acknowledge it if they don’t choose, and would just like to go on, business as usual, entertainment as usual, as if none of this is real life.
Amen and exactly. I'm so disappointed in the people who do not get this.
Exactly!
Well said
Ohana House amen
"What a privilege to be able to dismiss the real life experiences and trauma of real people as merely politics" This is such an eloquent description of privilege that so many are blind to. Would you mind if I quoted your comment on my own social media platform? I can anonymise it if you wish. Please say no if you'd rather I didn't.
I’m proud of you. When you stand up for what’s right, you will find out who your true followers are.
Speak and talk about what’s important to you. 🙏🏾💗
100% id rather lose people than silence myself. Thank you for this video. Everyone else is fighting a battle you know nothing about.. 👌
I have been happy to see the numbers go down, because that means the list and I share cares and values and not hate and fear.. it does suck that many were friends and family, but you have to prune the bush to get the best roses, unfortunately... Just more in our face , of late
I think it is WILD that some people are acting like basic human rights are just “politics”...versus ethical imperatives!
It’s because they are not on the receiving end of these horrible atrocities. Aa long as it doesn’t effect them, all is well as far as they are concerned.
It's because for them, issues of human rights have never been anything but 'politics.'
In times like these "CHANGE" is painful for everyone on both sides, especially for those on the wrong side of it... The fact that you've stood up and said what was on your heart, all the good and positivity is on your side... Speaking out about something that is wrong a lot of times brings with it great loss, but that loss you incur will later bring about great gain because all that you have done and are doing will align with the right things that actually match your morals and beliefs... It's the way the Universe works... Sunny, I know it's frustrating and hurtful, but in the long run you are helping to contribute to making the world a better place!💯
Thank you so much for standing with us! It means so much, words can't describe it! This earth has never seen love like this! We need to stand together to fight this.💙💚❤️🖤 I know you'll get back everything you lost doubled! I send you all the love and light your spirit can hold! Thank you with my entire heart, my soul sends you love. Thank you!
💚💚💚
Sunny, this is the first time iam seeing u like this and this is the first time commenting on your video. I was always been your followers and but never felt this close to you before. You ar an amazing human being. I think it's time to use our voice and make difference in the World. Love u and do what u believe.
True that...2020 is so different and let’s stand together... the word is empathy..to Sunny
Integrity and authenticity is everything which is what drew me to you from the start and will keep me here. Thank you for bravely sharing your voice in ways that inspire positive change in ways that matter way beyond algorithms.
"If we could just listen...." Amen. Amen amen amen.
💛
Sunny, I can't remember who said it, but I once heard a version of this statement. It's better to be disliked for being who you truly are, than loved for being who you are not. Thank you for caring and sharing.
Wow, I can’t believe the people that unfollowed you just because you stood up for people’s lives
It's sad...
My guess is that over time a lot of them will subscribe again.
Sad
You’re the best of the influencers and coaches who’s very honest and open to say anything that is valuable to our success. This doesn’t mean that you cannot release your feelings on your social media channels. You’ve all the right. I’m very happy following you and listening to you. You’re amazing. Thank you so much.
Heyyyy bro, you're here.
So much respect. 4 weeks ago I told my RUclips editor I am ditching the algorithm. I am speaking to what I care about. I have been a therapist for over 18 years and worked with so many individuals, there is so much emotion coming into the world. This is the way we create lasting change. All of us showing up and growing.
ruclips.net/video/bGAEHFFrm2o/видео.html
Thank you much speaking up despite what other people have to say
Sunny!!!!♥️
This is exactly what I have been thinking. I actually joined RUclips to speak out and not mute my voice!!
Regardless of what others have to say. In addition, I joined to let persons who are suffering from anxiety and depression know they are not alone.
Stand strong 💪💞
I’m proud of you for speaking up, and I respect the way you’ve chosen to move with integrity. You are supported.
It’s your channel to be you. If someone doesn’t like it or your message, they can move along. Can you imagine sustainable love, respect & compassion globally? Would be so amazing.✌🏻
So much respect for you speaking out and mobilizing your platform for what you believe in. You’re absolutely right - social media is designed to reflect back and amplify what we already know and believe.
This is such a complex issue - and I’m glad you’re considering what you can do to help it.
I've been contemplating finally using my voice on social media and between Garyvee's content and this video I feel compelled to finally follow through. My concerns have been "the algorithm" and sticking to a niche. I feel like that is so limiting to my message. Seeing you do the right thing and speaking up gives me the courage that I can speak up and the right audience will find me. Thank you for speaking your truth and considering a shift, however that looks for you. Much love
I love love love that you are a coach and a leader but I also love that you’re not afraid to speak on issues that this community is dealing with. Sending love to you and every other boss!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you!! 🙏
I've admired you for everything you've been doing on social media, educating people for free, inspiring us, motivating us, everything. But I admire you EVEN MORE now for speaking up courageously, saying sorry, and using your platform to make an impact and spread this message - one of the most important messages in the world. ❤️🙏
Sunny I love your heart.....I belive there are a lot of vanity metrics on social media and we all are going through a form of pain right now. Thank you so much for this. I think it's time to burst my bubble and that of my community. The 💗 much love from Nigeria.
so much love from Canada to Nigeria!! Thank you for being here!
Dear SUNNY i'm Lia from Israel, deffenenly one of the most problematic countries in the world. Over the last months I follow you, took your wonderfull course and asked myself who really are, what are the non - business values that drive you foreword, couse I got basically just one side of you, it is so narrow for me. For me, This video was the most powerful, human, loving and full of truth you ever reliesed, most inspirig for the strugle you presented at those changing times. So I speak here for the fisrt time to tell you this: Keep going dear woman, this are the things great leaders do- they listen to the Human Heart, and pull the vision out loud and out to the sun. Thats why you are called Sunny, right? Big apriciation & love from Israel . Yours, Lia
Here from Nigeria too 😊🤗
I was meant to see this post today. Thank you, Sunny. All that you share completely resonates with me and has empowered me to use my voice and my art to speak up about my own journey in this life no matter how off the beaten path it may be. I look forward to seeing how your channel evolves. Thank you for speaking your truth.
Sunny, bless your beautiful heart. Thank you for sharing with us. And please, don't give away any of your power. I know on social media, a majority of the comments I've received over the years were filled with hate, slanderous, and even at times threatening. Brush it off and keep moving forward. There's a lot of people that appreciate you and what you have to offer to the world. Please never discount yourself, your feelings, or anything. The points you made, especially about the commonality between everyone. It's true. But, you can only control what's in your own life. Not anyone else. Sunny, sending you and your family healing goodness your way.
This is a heavy energy time in the world. Thanks for this video. When people judge your motives and take offense they are the hurting ones. Keep being you.
Exactly Gretchen. The most relief I have ever received was when I realized that the people who hate black people are the ones that need help. It has to be hard to harbor so much hate.
I love when white folks or any race admits the truth and speaks up in the time when black folks need a voice. This video surprised me and to hear you speak in a raw way and to empathize and to admit your white privilege....most don't want to admit that. Thanks...keep ur head up...and talk to more white folks and see where there head is at....because we have to continue this conversation for all...
@Justin Kerns Hello Justin, my definition of white privilege is able to benefit of education , job opportunities, having a positive interaction with police "they don't take a second look"... and most school provide more history in the white perspective of history. That's just a little which there are more.... I'm not sure why you ask my age, but I have a 20 year old so I seen alot and been through alot as well. Thanks
@@Grateful_Candace white priviledge is a myth.... white unarmed folks got more shot tham blavk people unarmed by pollice officer. Look up on facts.
@@thevantran148 Look up the relative percentages. It's not the raw numbers that matter; it's the percentages.
White privilege doesn't mean you haven't had a hard life. It means your life isn't HARDER because of the color of your skin.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Accept those loses as filtering out the unnecessary to start a new.
“That says more about you than it does me” -Yes, girl! You said it! You are so right about the flaws, dangers and pitfalls of social media. It’s either fluff or furious. It’s almost there’s no in between. My husband always says, “You’ll never win online” when it comes to those disagreements. I agree with him. It seems to be impossible to have creative, productive discourse there.
SO glad this is resonating with you! 💛
I'm so happy you spoke up. I am Hispanic and I fight my self because I am prejudiced against white people. I know its wrong intellectually but with so much going on I find my self not trusting them. But when I see people like you it just reinforces the fact that im wrong. Id love nothing more than a society where we all get along and love one another. I think someday in a far future this can happen. But if not only white people, but all races come out and voice the issues to work thru them. I have my share to work thru to better my self. Oh and btw.. You ARE in your lane. Dont let anyone make you think otherwise. You've been a huge help in my youtube endeavours.
I rarely comment on RUclips videos but after watching you video on TV I've logged on on my laptop especially just to say thank you for sharing this.
One of the good things to come out of all this is finding out just how many people I follow on social media who are good, wholesome people whose hearts are in the right place and who want to make the world a better place.
Again, thank you for sharing and good luck with the new direction.
Thank you! It means a lot! ❤️❤️❤️
This video was so enlightening and so powerful. I’m so happy you spoke up on your truth ❤️ once again showed me that there was a reason I subscribed to you ( here always ❤️ ) I LOVE my fellow honest , loving and caring content creators.
Thank you!! I appreciate you ❤️
Sunny Lenarduzzi aww anytime stay SUNNY ☀️🥰❤️
@@SunnyLenarduzzi IT'S AWESOME that you spoke up sis! Those people that stopped following you were never actually following YOU. They were just decorating your account with their useless presence. Black lives matter and your voice definitely matters when you use it for positivity. Keep growing
Thank you for being so transparent! This is a time for all of us to learn, unlearn and most importantly grow. I actually had goosebumps watching this!
I think being human is feeling pain when other people are experiencing pain. No matter the background, race, religion, sexual orientation or whatever. We should all BE KIND to one another. Its really should not be that hard! But I think we as a society have this sense of apathy. We are all comfortable in our bubble and numb to other peoples suffering- and that is wrong! So again THANK YOU for speaking up!
Sending so much LOVE to everyone who is feeling pain right now.
Well done Sista! You gotta be your authentic self. The awakening has begun. So much to discuss. We must speak our truth and choose love. Thank-you for your honesty.Almighty Father peace and blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🧘🏽♀️🌻😘💕🎶💪🏾x
Sunny to be honest I haven’t been following your Instagram or RUclips channel much, although I’m a subscriber. And after hearing your beautiful heart speak through such raw and organic vulnerability, I want you to know how much I respect you and support you!!! I truthfully have been having the same illuminating revaluations and I have been speaking up about human rights on my Twitter and TikTok because I can no longer be a bystander. This isn’t about religion or politics. It’s about humanity. And humanity, fighting for human rights, is 100000% something I stand by and will use my voice for too. It’s our responsibility as human beings to fight for our race, every single member within it. And when we join forces we will create change and make magic TOGETHER ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿✊
Thank you so much for sharing this! I've always had a hard time posting on social media for my business since I'm not a fan of exposing my life behind the scenes, but I always have that little 'birdie' in my mind telling me that if I do do it, I'll connect with my audience on a deeper level. However, with the greater love, there's also more hate unfortunately
sunny i hear you, but as a black man. There are some people who don't want to listen. Sunny I LOVE you because I feel how genuine you are. There are some (majority, not all) white people who don't bother listening. Some people don't acknowledge white privilege & the pains of real life, outside of one's bubble
ruclips.net/video/78_6m9udvNc/видео.htmlhow save your self from corona
That is true for everybody.
I agree that some don't want to listen. Life's too easy the way it is and they either don't get it or aren't willing to consider anything outside their own experience I think this is EXACTLY why Sunny stepping out and making an honest video about this where she's DECIDING to step beyond the boundaries of "what's acceptable" and doesn't bruise the bubble of those you mentioned is a powerful choice. This video can have a domino effect and encourage white people to be more honest about supporting Black Lives Matter and equality of humanity in general AND (possibly) encourage those who NEVER considered their white privilege before to finally do so. It's time. The time has come to address the overt racism that still exists (it's a HUGE problem where I live and has cost the lives of many young people to suicide and that has been whitewashed and swept under the carpet until now). This movement is working, people are admitting that there IS a problem. We're deflating the bubble some white folks are living in. It's not gonna happen overnight but steps like this as Sunny has taken here truly add up and can have (are having) a positive ripple effect.
Not just some white people unfortunately. I've been shocked by my own family on my black side that are spewing the same nonsense that some white people are spewing about privilege doesn't exist. Ive even voiced I have light skinned privilege and don't understand how others can't see their own privilege.
Well said
Hey Sunny, I appreciate this video. I’m using my platform (RUclips and Instagram) to change the educational system as we know it. Because we need financial education in our school system. So I’m totally in line with what you’re saying 💪🏼 use your platforms to make a positive difference in the world ❤️
I think that everybody could benefit from listening to people that they don't agree with.
Reflecting on what they are saying before responding negatively.
As you mentioned, social media only shows you what you agree with.
What would you think if social media constantly sent you what your "opponents" see on their newsfeeds?
Food for thought
I don't wait for Social Media to do it for me. I actively seek out other perspectives because you can't trust social media, or the news media, to give you enough information to make an informed decision.
This is the best video I’ve seen all year. I’ve been subscribed to you for a couple years now. I now have so much more respect for you. *Thank you for using your voice for conversations like this.*
Girl, I feel exactly the same. Going back and forth about loving and hating. I've cut my social media obsession and I'm a happier person.
Deleting your social media doesn't earse the problem on hand. You now just become ignorant to the situation. Use your voice for any injustice happening around the world.
@@SimoneandPat I haven't deleted my social media. I just spend less time comparing, waiting for likes, and wasting my soul. I use it now to listen and put important content out. Just deleted the fluff.
@Yasmin - Tarot of My Life I was dreading going into insta and yet I couldn't stop myself from constantly checking. It was sick
@Yasmin - Tarot of My Life AGREED!
You'll loose some, you'll gain many. Thanks for being yourself and standing tall. Ive followed you for years and this is the most connected to you I've felt. From a red pill popper to the Sunny fam bosses, stay golden!
Everyone should be able to give an opinion without being attacked.
YES! ALL Lives matter!
@@monicamcgahan If you really believe that, then you would agree that black lives matter too then. right?
@@monicamcgahan Unfortunately, the "All lives matter" chant was introduced by White Supremacists. It's message is NOT, 'Stop shooting and killing white people, for just standing there and being white." It's TRUE meaning is, "Stop saying 'Black Lives Matter." It is 100% a racist statement, aimed at hurting the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
@@monicamcgahan ah yes the dog whistle for white supremacists."aLL LiVeS mAtTer"
That is it. When some social issue comes up speak up.
I am so grateful that you are the kind of person who examines these things and then shares your thoughts and feelings.
Greatly appreciate your honesty! You CARE and that will be used to keep you moving FORWARD! Trying to launch my first online course...“Real Peace and Purpose in Life!” You just gave me further confirmation it is needed and needed NOW! God bless you!
Me: Sunny's thumbnail looks super serious! I should support her immediately!!!!
I was so miserable for the past few days. Thank you for sharing your honest opinion. Remember, you are not alone!
Your right and you got a new subscriber
🙏❤️
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. For a lot of us fans out there who are small RUclipsrs like me, we are feeling it too! As someone in the arts and crafts space, I’m trying to be positive, but the reality is there is so much going on in the world.
Trying to stay positive & share that positivity has been a challenge for me too. Wishing you love & light
100% agree
Me too... is hard to be the same person all the time as a one dimensional being. That’s the problem with being in a niche
“Please don’t be a d*k in the comments.” 🙌🏼 Girl, that needs its own t-shirt! Love you more than ever Sunny!
To God be the glory! You have blessed my heart, because you where blessed to see and feel the pain. My heart connected with you, in every lesson their is a blessing, the blessing is on the way, time frame I cannot say but God did not bring us this far to leave us, love ya❤️
I love this so much. I really liked your channel at first but I love it even more now. It’s rare when I don’t skip through videos. I listened the whole way through. You using your platform to get a message out there means a lot to many people, including me.❤️
This was good. Didn’t even know I was subscribed to this channel
🙏
The algorithm of truth sits at the intersection of vulnerability and authenticity. The more flaws you can reveal, the more honest you become.
Sunny I must say that I followed your reaction throughout the initial stages following the George Floyd death and I was humbled by how you showed up. A lot of us, myself included are rethinking social media and how we are using our voices and our platforms. Love what you are doing. Thanks for fighting the good fight.
I applaud you speaking up regardless of outcome. Your life, your conscious, your soul. Well done.. Speak your truth..
Could see the pain in your eyes. Like you said-our pain connects us. I felt you❤ Your vulnerability is your power. It helps you grow. And boy this video showed growth from voicing an opinion. I am inspired ❤
I hope that this blows up for people to see this and change their views. This is just heartwarming and real. Many love to you Sunny and the world during these times. Let this energy spread towards the world❤❤❤
Sunny, I don’t know if I’ve ever commented on your videos although I’ve watched them for a long time. I’m so proud of you to see you have this awakening and be so brave to leave your comfort zone. Well done, keep going in this direction. You are powerful and smart, so you will create change and create meaning in the world. 🙏❤️
I enjoy your social media content a whole lot but I enjoy you being an ally to the Black Community more :) Thank you for sharing and being so open. 💛✊🏽
Thank you!
I'm hurting every day because I feel my people's pain. And it bothered me to see people " stay in their bubble" and turn a blind eye. As a sub, Thank you for opening up and embracing the pain. Because it hurts, soo bad.
Thank you for speaking from your heart. Your honesty and ability to communicate about seeing the events that have recently happened is refreshing. Your thoughts on changes to your social media channel is a good pivot. It shows you are listening and understanding. I will continue to follow your channel.
Well said. Black lives matter. And every time I say that out loud, I lose followers too. And you’re right: that doesn’t matter at all. Speaking up is important. Thank you and take care. 💚
Exactly. Thank you
ALL LIVES MATTER! ~ Economic Subjugation abounds everywhere.
Ric Caruso ALL LIVES WONT MATTER until BLACK LIVES MATTER TOO.
I've been subscribed and watched u for a long time, this is the 1st time I actually saw you! Thank you 😗
I agree! This is my favorite video this week! Love you Sunny!
💯 I feel the same way 👏🏽
When you speak up of "Black Lives Matter" and end up loosing a bunch of followers what does that tell you...like it or not RACISM is here to stay.
To taclke it, we need people like you. Thank you and keep up.
Agree
It is not "here to stay". It's here right now. But it doesn't have to stay this way. We just have to face the fact that we are not done evolving as a society. The work goes on.
How about the police officers who have been killed during this mayhem? Do their lives matter?
Richard Ellis of course they do. Who said they don't? Do you think bringing them under her video deflects from the point and focus on the current work we as a nation have to do to make it so that racism dies?
I mean we can mourn deaths of officers while demanding the end of racism at the same!
time!
Officers have a tough job in a field they CHOSE to enter and we are grateful for their CHOICE and mourn their deaths year in and year out when one dies in the line of DUTY.
However,We are talking about the people who didn't choose their race yet because of it are subject to daily, systemic and routine racism.
Words cannot describe how it makes you feel to see you sharing your feelings and using your platforms to address what's going on in world and has been going on. Thank You! #BlackLivesMatter and YES WE ALL MATTER But Black Lives need your help!!!!
Hi Sunny. I never comment on your videos but here I am now. Thanks to you my channel grew to 52K subs in last 2 years. I watched your videos in the beginning which showed me the right direction so thank you for that. I am having exactly the same thoughts and same confusion as you are. My channel is about tech and I did loose lots of subs in last 24 hours because very silly I used different smartphone gimbal then usually. I am feeling anger between people on social media and also here on youtube. The world is not healthy... not because of covid… people are stressed, miserable, scared, have anxiety, afraid of future... You have said it well in this video. I loved seeing you being you... all the respect to you. I am also rethinking the social media myself.... wishing you only the best.
