The first thought that went through me was how well her parents raised her. She’s gentle, well mannered, bright and motivated. Mentally healthy and balanced parents raise happy, successful children.
Zaila fulfilled one of my biggest childhood dreams, to be the first African American scripps national spelling bee winner! So naturallyI get so emotional watching her interviews and it takes me back to when I was basically one of the only ones competing in the spelling bee circuit 20 years ago! Bravo girl, so sweet, smart, and talented ❤️
Imagine if more black people with exceptional talents and achievements were highlighted in the media on a more consistent and frequent basis. There are many that exist.
They don't actually condition us for that we are taught to play basketball football and rap the women are literally talked to nothing just to take every care of everybody else's kids we are we don't have the same backing as Becky and Fred they don't teach us to do different things that's why you don't see black people in NASCAR that's why you don't see a lot of black people in hockey the soccer handball spike ball it's so many outlets to showcase your talent but you don't see that because that's not what they market to us we are supposed to spend a lifetime working other people are supposed to spend the lifetime chasing their American dream
@@breezluize3282 you right I don't have kids though so it's up for y'all to change the narrative I do e-commerce I pray try to teach everybody that are coming contact with about e-commerce drop shipping and retail arbitrage but black folks don't want to hear nothing about that so I'm doing what I can you know we're just pointing out because I just found out about him Ball but it's all I'm saying is they don't advertise those opportunities so black kids never think it's their opportunity as young black man we grow up thinking football basketball rap which one are you going to make it as we don't have those resources in our neighborhood we we don't have hockey rings in our schools like they do on the suburban side you know so I don't know how to go about getting just saying you're not going to see a lot of different talents unless they enable it I'm not the one taking them to school and giving them indoctrination you know so if you have kids you have the opportunity to change that within the next generation I don't have kids I can't change s*** I can tell you what I know but if you don't want to hear what I know then I can't tell you anything
@@salingstuff8085 You can mentor young black children. There are literally millions of them out there looking for guidance/direction. You can find an organization: Boys & Girls Club, Salvation Army, Big Brother/Big Sister, shelters, foster care agencies, after-school programs, etc. You sound knowledgeable and entrepreneurial...somebody somewhere can benefit from what you know. You don't need to have children to make a positive impact on children.
She’s going to be doing a lot more than teaching. This girl is very very bright she will definitely be doing something very spectacular with her future. Teachers are amazing and don’t get me wrong but they don’t make very much money and they’re very underappreciated. This young lady is a genius she’s going to go very far. She must have amazing parents. And then somebody said somewhere about her voice. She does have the cutest little voice. And she’s quite adorable. You keep going you little young black queen. 👑Congratulations to you sweetheart! 🥰
As a society, we need to elevate young women (and men) like Zaila and turn them into the role models, we want our children to aspire to be. This shouldn’t be turned into a novelty; it should be the standard, that we strive for.
Wow! Zaila, you are every adjective that comes before "incredible" that denotes greatness. You bring pride to our country when we need it most. Keep on being You.
This was posted around three days ago, and I’m upset at the fact that it hasn’t even hit 1 million views… This is the truest form of intelligence, entertainment, and humility all in one video-goodness gracious
@@ricodelavega4511 Agreed about LSU. She did receive academic scholarships from other universities after LSU's offer. I pray she makes the right decision according to God's plan for her life. She's brilliant in more ways than one & comes from a very strong family, so I'm certain she'll be fine, wherever she ends up. Congrats, Zaila!
Some white-supremacists disliked this video. This young lady is a beast. What's not to love about her? She is phenomenal. Wow! Sending you love and good vibes Zaila 🌹🙌🏾
“Zaila is just as Amazing at doing mental mathematics….!!!” There are some videos of her father and her working on multi tasking, while doing complex multiplication at the same time….Thats our a beautiful Princess, I’m proud of her…!!!
Wasn't her red-in-the-face shyness just so adorable? What a sweetie. The person, or people, that instilled that work ethic in her are to be commended, as well. It's so wonderful to witness her motivation, and accomplishments, at such a young age.
That little princess spin she did when she won the spelling bee just had me in tears and im a full grown man.. and that little tiny voice i would be a mess if i was her dad everytime she did something.. im Italian so everything is filled with emotion..
@Frank...I said it, you'll, that Zaila is gonna hear from Bill Murray. That's the nature of the guy, who "attacked" a sweet old lady fan at a golf tournament in Monterey, CA. 🥰.
Wow what a special girl. Such an Inspiration. I hope kids everywhere are inspired by her and takes learning and athletics as fun. I hope no kids are bullied by their academic interests. Amazing parents…… great kid. I feel so proud of her even as an audience. What an amazing kid. I hope you all the success.
This child is such a blessing to observe. Multitalented, humble, extra special, stone genius, she is I doubt she'll need that basketball academy, though. She's already established & wondrously skilled in basketball. And, with what she's already doing with those b-balls, I'm sure she can teach the instructors a thing or two, lol. Congrats, Zaila! God bless you!
You know when you get that all body tingle. Hey yall, let's make a plan. If the world damages her, we declare war. Just because the world needs people like her!!!!
What a beautiful segment! Thank you Jimmy for highlighting this talented, and beautiful young lady!!!! Congratulations Zaila on all your success and accomplishments!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh my gosh I'm so proud of you young lady. If I wasn't where I'm I would have been screaming out loud. Congratulations on everything and the many blessings that will be coming your way. Im just so at awe with you make me want to go home have my kids start practicing words.
Her dribbling and spelling at the same time was so beast. Very few people can dribble like that to begin with let alone spell at the same time. That’s true mastery!
Congratulations Zaila, you are smart, bright and talented. May God bless and protect you in all of your future endeavours. Hats off to your parents too. They are doing an awesome job raising you...💕🙏🏾❤

When she corrected her💯this black little queen is amazing✨
That prize won’t be lost on Zaila. She’ll probably be teaching there before she leaves. Kudos to her parents and all her hard work!

@@elizabethtimothy4776 Bruh, this is better than plenty of the “1M+ views” music videos that I’ve seen
She should have a world record for cutest voice, too.
eveyone loves her shyness. She's obviously close to her family, go to Tulane NOT LSU (a party school).
Ya think
@@ricodelavega4511 This girl is going father than that. She is probably scholarship to an Ivy material (if she wants it down the road).
I love that raspy voice sugar plum! So cute

Hope for you training for your own record?
So inspiring!
Zaila is a GENIUS folks this is hard work, great parenting, dedication, love, support. Keep up the great work
When she started dribbling I was dumbfounded. This girl is a national treasure. Wow.
You should look her up playing in competition. She is a serious talent on the basketball court.
Lol, I totally agree
@No what? No no no, don't do that... don't start that bs..
Some white-supremacists disliked this video. This young lady is a beast. What's not to love about her? She is phenomenal. Wow! Sending you love and good vibes Zaila 🌹🙌🏾
Yeah, well, a great antidote to that is to keep on highlighting and lifting up great examples of why racial supremacy is a fallacy. :-)
@Supply And Demand Supply yourself with a tall glass of shut TF up.
LOL... let them hate. but can they duplicate?
💥NO💥
You couldn't even Invent a wheel
black culture u mean, black people: still havent learned english and outnumbered by whites like 20:1 in scripps spelling bee winners
Her parents must absolutely burst with pride!
She don’t have nun they made her up in the lab

You think she’s a NUN in that outfit?

Omg seeing successful black women on a tonight/late show is everything.
@Johnny Ringo boxing
She’s 13 I think? Let’s not say she’s an adult too soon
@@M_SC I didn't say adult. I said women, like females.
Here, here!
I couldn’t stop smiling watching this, she’s a star!
She is awesome!
This gal is absolutely incredible! She's a human spell check! And Bill Murray shows up! Great.
Her voice is so soothing. I could feel her energy from here. Such a graceful and talented young lady. I love her.
She’s a real life “Missy” from Big Mouth - she’s so cute and brilliant!
Omgeee that's exactly how she talks!
Thats spot on. Braces and all.
or Akeelah
I can barely follow that she's doing the two incredibility hard things at the same time... and she's doing them. Insane!
And so humble 😅... love this little girl... her parents did a wonderful job...
She is outta this world! How phenomenal!!! Amazing 🌺🏀
She is so cool and kind, excited to see her become ever more famous and successful.

HOW COULD ANY HUMAN DISLIKE THIS VIDEO? THIS GIRL IS A RARE GEM. I wonder if it has anything to do with her race. I hope not.
Send that girl a Bill Murray collection of films!
Jesus her balance alone!!! To dribbling and balance on foam! Wow, this is amazing 👏 🙌 😍
That jump and spin almost made me cry. Just so good to see a black child experience joy.
How can anybody not love this young lady's skills and journey? Those 27 dislikes are disgraceful...
They're jealous and that is so sad! Don't know Jesus. Like I said, it's sad.☹☹☹
