    Trevor introduced us to the best stories that other interviewers won't touch. He let's us meet the best from around the world. His research and questions of the guests are top notch.

      That's why it's bad. If you think a movie needs to have a storyline or entertaining like a TV show, you don't know what litterature and arts in general mean.

    Truly a great deed this fantastic young book author is doing, of empowerment to all of womankind/womanhood, the world-over, especially for those who’ve experienced being marginalized by their peers & general societies around themselves thru firsthand accounts, during their life struggles to simply “fit in” &/or, being at least accepted in life as “normal” human beings, seeking validation & acknowledgement for equal happiness that we all seek… great interview, Trevor!

    I encourage you sister, show people no matter how black our skin colour is or how young you are.
    But you have heart knowledge and empathy, that some white and old people not have in their consciousness.
    Life is not easy to fight with insane people, but however i hope many people like you share more positive empathy and the knowledge of understanding more for young people.
    Education and knowledge will help young people get out from those people who take the opportunity to take control of their freedom.
    Be strong and brave sister 💪 respect and appreciation you both 🙏💚

    One of the many reasons we need young people to tell stories is because in many ways they are still so passionate to make change, to affect the world, to share perspectives that we can often lose as adults.

    🥲 It is such a relief to hear young girls speaking out about the crimes committed against by anyone in a position of power or any one else. So often we remain silent, afraid to speak or retaliated against so severely that we give up on Justice for ourselves and our communities. This young lady has broken the silence. Much continued success to her. I hope to make her life better by fighting my way through Supreme Court all the way to Accountability for all who commit crimes, including people in positions of power...law enforcement, judges up through to the President. Under Democracy, no one should be exempt if they have done an illegal act, especially crimes against kids.Thank you Trevor, this interview has been an inspiration. Please continue the great work.
