Miss Val 2GO - Episode 1

You king sports thanks lrag 🌹🌹🌹🌹💖💖💖👍👍👍

Thank you Miss Val, for continuing your love of life.

Thank you for this really great Video!

Rechelle's story of what happened to her Dad made me want to vomit. I had no idea racism was so prevalent still. Thank you for this to help us keep learning. I learned my school doesn't stand up for POC and has many buildings named after people who were openly racist. I have chosen to leave because I can't support a university like that. I need to come to UCLA where it is much more welcoming. I was shocked when I visited UCLA to see a Jewish student newspaper on campus. I had been taught as a child to be ashamed of having any Jewish heritage and never spoke of it for years. As a young child, I told my best friend my Dad was Jewish and her parents said I wasn't allowed in their home because of that. Another time a parent asked my Mom why on Earth a Christian would marry a Jewish man and wouldn't I grow up confused? I know the discrimination I have experienced is nothing compared to POC and these beautiful young women. I look white, so I can keep it a secret. I have started donating and advocating and educating now. This should matter to every human. I want to learn more how I can be an ally. Can you make another video with Nia and Margzetta or other former UCLA black gymnasts?

This was really helpful to me. I love how you were all able to have such an open conversation. I know the three of you know and have great love and respect for each other, but I really felt like I was in Miss Vals shoes here. I found that I too have said I don't see color, but that obviously leaves me blind to just some very simple truths . I can definitely see where I can step up and be not just a wonderful friend, but an ally. I seem to not see color which makes me not really aknowledge or even have any awareness that my friends of color still go through very different treatment. I am stuck in a way because I am not a minority, so I don't have any experience with racism against me, but I also don't understand those who do have a racist or bigoted mindset. This video totally bridges a gap for me. I am humbled to understand that though my intentions are good, I have not really helped much. Onnie and Rachelle really put it out there in a gentle and loving way. I want to be part of the solution and not just stagnant or stuck. Alliship makes so much sense. Love all three of you. Great video and topic.
