  • I'm a skinny white guy from UK but this speech gave me goosebumps. Congratulations Angela well deserved.
  • @user-yw1td3kk1s
    Not only her speech but her voice, diction, pronunciation is so perfect to understand for people like me in Asian country. Wow, best speech ever not because she's a black women but because of her so solid and strong attitude towards so many audiences and her colleagues❤
  • @samfine5286

  • Without a script, without reading a notes, her words, her facial expressions, her voice and her body language are so mesmerising and hypnotised me. She is a queen and very powerful message to all people in the world. God bless you. If God be for you, who will against you. Amen.

    I am not black, I’m Hispanic but I keep coming back to this speech for inspiration. What a QUEEN!
  • @boybye7986
    The queen has spoken, the QUEEN has spoken.
  • I am a gay asian man living in an extremely homophobic country, and for my own safety and my own kind, I have to live in a truth they impose on us. This speech liberates me of that shackles and I for once in my life, feel that I belong. Thank you Angela Bassett for your gracious wisdom. Now can't nobody tell me I ain't worth it!
  • @bri310
