    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 ❤️

      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

      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! 🥰

    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!
