Wow Abiya! Am surprised they played a piece from Samuel Colridge Taylor. You should read the fascinating history of this illustrious man. His family were slaves in America but later moved to England where he was born. Other families moved to Nova Scotia. They later settled in Freetown, Sierra Leone - West Africa. He died at the young age of 37. Brilliant man! Shalom.
I am the same way with my BFF. Even though we haven't lived near each other for over 30 years, but we are super close and when we speak with each other we laugh until we cry, or pee our pants, and time seems to have not flown by. The shirt you are wearing in the video really looks good on you, The color is very nice.
Hello from WI. I grew up south Mpls. I have been away from that area for 30 yrs. I would never have recognized downtown Mpls. WOW. I think your son looks so sweet I wanted to give that guy a hug. I'm sure you were in heaven being with him. Now, I have to mention your beautiful teeth, when you smile you light up...beautiful. Getting together with old friends what a blast. Safe travels
What a wonderful video, family ,friends food and Music... You have a handsome friendly son... So glad he had a wonderful time planned for you... So glad I got to meet everyone, you make me feel like family. I'm fairly new on here,so glad I found you... And your song was absolutely beautiful 💯 🌏 OK until we meet again, safe travels 🥰🙏❤ Sweet memories ❤️
Getting silly with your friends is almost needed, your time with your son is always nice, he seems very pleasant...sing all the time and safe travels to you
It looks like you had a GREAT time in Minnesota! I have family there also. I don't know how they do the winters. The Orchestra sounds Amazing. As a musician I love all kinds of music. Friends, Family,Sushi and music = a good time.
It reminded me so much of my father and would go, many many years ago, to the old Getty museum on Thursday night because the had art history lectures and music and snacks with wine and water afterwards. I didn't drink, still don't, so I would drive. Your son will remember that moment forever! Beautiful
He's got the little bitty babies in his hands he's got the little bitty babies in his hands he's got the whole world in his hands. My mom would sing this to us as well! Thanks for sharing 😊
Awe... That was so nice to be able to see your BFF and family and to be able to do some great stuff while catching up and enjoying everyone. If you were heading back to Missouri, and i was heading back home to SD from KS around the same time, we may have crossed paths! BTW, I also love the orchestra!!! I'm sure that concert brought on some emotions... That was so nice of your son to take you there, I know you gotta be having some "proud mama" moments! Thanks for taking us YT along, hope to get to go with you to Oregon as well!!! 😉
What a beautiful video. My heart is smiling. Thank you for sharing your family. Absolutely love the inspiration for the music, the music itself, AND the venue.
Shalom What a surprise. Gorgeous son, visit with BFF. Enjoying the musical arts. And she sings herself ! A more personal side of Abiyah. It was fun just watching TY.
My BFF is in TN and I’m in KY. We’ve been best friends for 41 years (since 4th grade). Nothing like it. We know we will always be here for each other as long as we have life in our bodies.
Great video. 🎶 He has the whole world in his hands..🎶 loved your song and yes he does !!. You had me singing with you,. Good job.l love your enthusiasm God Bless You....
Your laughter is so contagious. On another note… I’m not far from that restaurant, I will have to give it a try! So happy you got to come back home. I love MN!
Oh my goodness. This summer I spent a few days with my 2 childhood friends in Arkansas. We always have fun. When I leave I miss them so much. I also feel like you when going home. While there, there were so many new things to see. Redevelopment is bombing in the town. I’m glad you got a chance to visit again. It’s nothing like going back home.
Also having a long time best friend is really the very best and I do as well. We live thousands of miles away so when we meet up we have the best time. Happy travels and may the Lord bless and cover you💕🙏🏾💕
Looks like you had an awesome time with friends & family. You took quite a lengthy trip. Thanks for sharing. It's giving me the courage to take a drive up to Pennsylvania from Louisiana to visit my sons & daughter.
Your visit was fabulous the food looks delicious. Your Go-Pro camera took great footage the images were sharp and the sound was fantastic. That navy blue color looks beautiful on you.❤❤❤
Loved the video Abiyah. There is something about you and the way you introduce interesting tidbits in the video that make it standout. This was great. Also I live in Jamaica in a small apartment so I'm learning how to do some downsizing and be satisfied with living smaller,from your videos. Happy travels and God bless💕🙏🏾💕
Hello Abiyah, I enjoyed your video. You're blessed to have friends you've known since a teenager. That food looked delicious. Your son has a lovely smile he has your eyes. That was an awesome concert. They represented the unrepresented, the Slaves. It's pitiful that the slaves weren't allowed to show emotions surpressing their feelings I'm sure that caused sickness, bless their hearts. We song "He's got the whole world in His hands" also. Those are beautiful memories of my parents raising me and my siblings in church. You are very intelligent. I enjoy watching your channel. You always have something educational and interesting. Be careful out there and I know you are. I pray for your safety. God bless you.
I’m so happy to see you so happy. Family (blood and bonus) is everything! That sushi looked amazing and you girls were having so much fun making memories! Safe travels back to Missouri!
It is good have a best friend. Me and my best friend have known each other for over 50 years. We met because we lived on the same street, two apartment buildings up the street. Now we just live about 30 minutes away if it is good traffic if not it will take an hour. We live in the LA CA metro area, now you know why traffic is so bad.
Have you thought about getting a microphone for your phone. They sell them at Best Buy and it helps with noise cancellation/ voice projection. Maybe you should test that option before buying a new phone
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and it encouraged my decision to subscribe. The decision was made when I saw the gift of tickets to the Minnesota Orchestra. Believe it or not, I am familiar with every single marginalized composer you mentioned and I actually met Hale Smith who was a Member of The National Association of Negro Musicians. The composers are not marginalized by many African American performers of classical music. Their works are often presented as entire programs or included with compositions by European composers. I look forward to your future adventures.

He’s got the whole world in His hands indeed…!!! 👏🏽☝🏽🙏🏽👑🕯️
You remind me of Nia Long…. You look and talk just like her… 🙌🙌

Beautiful! So glad to see you so happy. That’s what friends and family can do to us. He’s got the whole world in His hands! 🙏🙌🏼❤️
Wonderful video. Your son has a beautiful smile and he is such a handsome young man. Having good friends to laugh with is a gift. 👍

Lovely song. I was just saying to a friend how that song: "He's got the Whole World in His Hands is appropriate these days. Beautiful!

Wonderful videos. You're very courageous and dedicated to your lifestyle and I admire your strength. You are blessed in so many ways.
Really glad you shared some of the Minnesota Orchestra and their theme of sharing Black Composers from those challenging eras. Your son has kind eyes.
