Allegations of copying aside, I would NEVER support a bunch of women attacking a black women. The discourse around Onezwa’s appearance is disgusting. It reeks of colorism and racism.
And onezwa is an original black woman from the rural areas. Authentic in her cooking cause thats how she lives. Nara, nothing authentic or original there. I will leave it at that. Tired of europeans stealing from africans they even stole our people and made them slaves . they have been stealing. Dont care about her white skin either onezwa still looks better ❤
Oh well. They are PART blik and you will STILL complain. Seen it ALL my life stay pressed maybe if you actually built and own something you wouldn't worry about nonsense like HAIR 🤡
We all know that there's no original creator for recipes...but flat out copying another person's voice, personality etc & deny knowing that person you're copying from is messed up. Someone said these next few years are the years of truth & exposure.
@@lookatyou5809 that's not the point being made here. Y'all love to move the goal post to protect your idols. The point of the soft voice is that nara did not speak that way until she started to follow onezwa further not only did she copy all her content ideas she is copying her demeanor and voice tone which is way more than just having similar recipes. It's obviously deliberate. There was a switch in the way nara did her content originally versus now and it has everything to do with onezwa content. The real issue however is nara lying saying she didn't follow her didn't know her when she is outright copying her

You know what is also happening here some reverse colourism so for example when people keep pushing the narrative that light skin people think they’re better than other people and blah blah blah he then push the narrative that because this woman is black and South African that this woman thinks she’s above her and can still content from her or whatever else they’re trying to put on it I do get a person being offended by somebody stealing what they believed to be their intellectual property but she doesn’t own the voice she doesn’t own the aesthetic of her videos or does she own anything to do with her videos It is not anybody else’s fault that South African creators don’t make money from the videos When people have to add emotional facts to the story to help push the narrative normally you know that it’s not just a straight line Even if she made money from her content would it change anything There are many TH-camrs who start one way or content creators who start one way and don’t end the journey in another way she’s also a young girl so her personal journey she will be consistently changing We’re in the era of less find and make problems about every single thing instead of trying to find some sort of understanding and reasoning. Most people who do make up videos started because they saw somebody else doing make up videos there’s even make up videos of people copying other peoples make up
The straw that broke the camel’s back for me in this whole discourse is the fact that nara smith told a blatant LIE about supposedly not knowing who Onezwa is. She is insanely weird for that. However the most sobering thing about this reality is that nara smith will just continue on her way knowing this whole conversation will eventually die out in a few weeks as most controversy inherently does WITHOUT a single dent to her ‘cult following’ influence.

@@nomvuyomashile3373 that it is sis, that it is🙏🏾, its unfortunate I just posted my thoughts a minute ago. About how I see this connection (or lack thereof) in the "community" and societal norms (ws) between groups. It's sad, it be your own people or people who are included in a community without any knowledge about past to present relationships, cultures, traditions etc etc...
I came into this situation on the fence because I find the style of both of these women different personally. I believe both have their own place in what they do and there is enough room for everyone to post the content they want. What made me feel more for Onezwa was how terrible these Nara Smith fans have treated this situation. Calling Onezwa bitter and jealous when the reason this whole thing happened is because they started attacking Onezwa first calling her a copycat. Nara Smith fans created this whole discourse and now they are dragging a smaller creator because she got frustrated and decided to defend herself. I hate dealing with large fandoms and their delusional sheep follower mentality. They give the person they are a fan of a bad name. I don't watch either of these ladies, but I'll probably start watching Onezwa. You cant deny that it's weird that Nara would post the same recipe idea after Onezwa did.
I like your take. I was also on the fence, but once I learned that Nara changed her voice, music, and posts the same recipe Onezwa posted shortly after, I realized that there's too many coincidences. I 100% agree that both ladies can exist. Because I'm not a fan of tradwife content, I personally wouldn't take it personally if I was in Onezwa's shoes. Onezwa's content is more authentic, and I personally prefer it. I watch other content creators who live the same lifestyle as Onezwa.
Nata Smith do not make meals from scratch. Her ish is store bought. She not about to milk any goat's or go outside and pick fruits and vegetables. Not in those dresses.
I waited for part 2 to share my opinion. My first impression was that Nara took inspiration from content creators like Onezwa. Then I learned that Nara changed her voice and music and had a pattern of posting similar recipes after Onezwa's posts. Nah 😂, calling all of those actions coincides is delusional 😂.
It's always the people who have so much , stealing from less fortunate people. I guess Nara thinks she's safe from any real backlash . But # no one is safe from # KARMA 😐 Have y'all noticed how all of the rich folks , who are KNOWN to steal from smaller creators , are NEVER happy & satisfied? 😂 That's b/c their insides are evil 😈 & after awhile, the evil seeps into their faces . 👹
Twitter will investigate. Post the date Nara spoke in her regular voice. Note the date she went to Ms. O'S page . Note the date Nara's voice changed. Then , do the same with the recipes. Posting the exact NEXT day is # nasty work 😒. Nara didn't care if the lady knew she was copying . Nara thought, 🗯 "So what , she can't do anything about it ." 😌💃 We can't make her give the lady her credit & % of her profits, from each stolen video . # karma is taking notes # karma " Alright Bet ." 😌
Nara clearly stole the ideas and repackaged them. To say she didn't know Onezwa was nasty work. I like Nara Smith's content, but I can't unsee the truth.
The only thing that is sus is that Nara pretends to not know her at all but yet she commented on her videos saying she was inspired sooooo that already tells me what I already need to know. She was inspired and acting like brand new. There has been Nara hate train ever since she start making this her niche so her karma came for her already. But this is the second wave I guess.
Team Onezwa!!! Women like Nara NEVER have a personality of their own. She knew exactly what she was doing. The amount of people being willfully ignorant simply because they like Nara is agitating.
I am starting to think its an identity problem for nara. Onezwa is documenting her life as a rural girl who needs to cook from scratch cause getting to town to find shops is an inconvenience . this is who she is and she is making videos of it. Naras life is completely different. Her lifestyle, she can order food and have it delivered on her doorstep but she chooses to copy the rural life of an authentic black girl😢 and then she refuses to credit onezwa
She IS on TH-cam. When she stopped posting to TikTokToe, Nara went on her YT and started “getting inspiration” from her content here on YT. Nowhere Onezwa has gone Nara hasn’t followed her for more “inspiration”.
What i love about this story is that it was Nara's fans who exposed the copying . they insinuated that the original is the one who is stealing or taking ideas from Nara only to be proven very wrong. So for those who say their content is different, evidently not as pointed out by her fans. Thanks to them for exposing Nara. Now can we term this what it is, content plagiarism . and can we call nara out on this. There's nothing new under the sun but u cant plagairise someone's work and make it your own. She should have credited Onez
Thank you! She does not get these ideas from herself even if she did! The bigger your star the MORE demand! So where does she get all these other ideas from? She has to look! Perhaps she has a team that search for similar niche stuff online and present it to her! Either way she KNOWS!!! She or they have purposely trawled the net SPECIFICALLY for small creators because they think they do not have the voice nor platform to argue back this happens ALLLLLL the time with fashion designers! So many dramas i have seen over the years. It boils my blood to see people being so willfully obtuse/ blind or having absolute cognitive dissonance over it!

@@riannameddar which bit doesn't make sense? I am British imagine if i left the UK and went to live in say Kenya where my parents are from and started a channel etc that doesn't mean i do not keep up with all the things i used to do in the UK. Even if Nara was born in the U.S she could have still strong ties to her parents culture or just like it in general for her sense of being as it is a part of who she is. Lets go back to my kenya example...I would most likely see alot of things out there that are worlds apart and unknown back in the UK! I could get heavily inspired by something! KNOWING that if i chose to adopt it and put it on my channel as original I could get away with it because no one would know about small influencers or lesser privileged people I am copying. You would feel relatively safe in doing so because you would think 1. No one would make the connection. As it is worlds apart 2. You are more privileged with what you can do...i.e resources What Nara didn't account for is this girl standing up for herself but even more that the video went viral and made it's way into the US algorithm. The thing is the internet and social media have brought the world inextricably together so this obvs slipped her mind which is crazy imo, but when you don't think someone is important in your reality it is easy to forgot common sense in such scenarios...moral of that story treat ppl with respect ...until they fuck up of course haha. Of course this is my own conjecture and not the truth because we don't know! But i personally suspect something of this nature occured.
Black women did not make Nara famous, her fanbase is very mixed. Now go and make that other lady famous and let's move on. The lady in the white robe was on point, we need to see the correlation.
That other lady?? Excuse you. You mean the full blood, unambiguous, African woman? Your comment reeks of racism, colorism, and xenophobia. You sound pissed off at the mere idea of someone critiquing this biracial woman. It's giving I need to report your comment.
@@nanaakosuamensah1608 you all jealousy is out of this world. I love nara smith cos i am a very lazy person, extremely lazy if i should be honest. I am married have no kids right now and still find it difficult to cook for myself and my husband does most of the cooking. I just discovered that watching these content help me see just how lazy i am, and i am beginning to work on myself. Alot of women who truly love Nara love her not because of her skin color but because they can relate to her contents. I won’t watch a content from the other lady cos there is no way i am milking my own goat or cow or whatever she does on her video, i can’t relate to her lifestyle.
I think Nara lied about where her inspiration is coming from because it goes against the little story life she has made up for her character she has made up. She makes up reasons why she is even making what she is. Then, when she is talking about what she makes, she talks in such a way that it's like the 100th time she's made it. Nara Smith's stuff is all staged and that fine, but she is trying to act like it's not. She can't say, I saw Onezwa make this, so I wanted to try and make it too because it goes against her little play she puts on.
People didn’t think diddy was doing what he was doing back in the day and others would say he’s diddy he doesn’t have to grape anyone and here we are now. So people saying Nara has no reason to steal is ludicrous. I believe there are similarities but their niche is different. They both bring unique qualities to their content creation. It would be nice if they could do a collab and put a stop to it. Nara can post a video saying she used onezwa videos as inspiration and boom. End of story.
It's giving "house vs field" and I don't like it😢 What's most unfortunate about this discourse is the obvious parallels between these ladies and the white supremacist mindset of the followers. Based on all the back and forth between the fans. It's disgusting. Looking at both, I truly resonate more with Onezwa because she gives me relatable familiar (ancestry🌎) vibes, in the best kind of way❤🙏🏾
You should do a video showing the receipts. I haven’t seen any receipts just people talking about the receipts. Just an idea since I don’t have tiktok or the time to actually investigate 😂
You know what not that you gave me the inspiration for the thing I want to do but since your last video you gave me inspiration to actually start. Love your work ethics ❤
Idk how people make money online, but Onezwa said she can’t make money on her videos bc she’s in SA, but people are mad Nara is making money off of them?? Do people want her to give the money to Onezwa?? I’m not sure about the argument there. I think it would be waaay different if she could be monetized and Nara was stealing bc she’s taking money from her at that point. I may be wrong and I’m sure someone will let me know lol
@@sakiajohnson64 I don’t know enough to form a real opinion, honestly. Idk why Onezwa can’t make money on her videos just bc she lives in SA and I also don’t know how someone making money on similar content is taking her money… I’m just confused all around. In my head, if she could make money and Nara was purposely stealing her money by taking her views, that would definitely be stealing, but since she cannot Idk how it’s stealing her money. I’m equating it to- if I cannot eat this candy, I wouldn’t say someone who could eat it stole my candy (using as simple terms as possible for the sake of this example), but that could be wrong and I’m open to learning so I can better form an opinion. I’m wondering if it’s keeping her from getting more brand deals?? She mentioned that so that’s where my head is at now…
@@Mochalolo1928Tiktok decides what countries they allow to make money on the app. Onezwa can't make money off of her content but that is still her intellectual property so Nara stealing her ideas(ex: her mannerisms, her entertainment ideas in the form of music, and the topics of the videos) is still wrong. Not being able to make money off of it is irrelevant in the case of: "did Nara steal or not?" Even though the issue of who gets to make money and whose content gets pushed through the algorithm is a very big problem in and of itself. The answer to the main question is Yes. Yes, Nara is wrong. Yes, Nara stole. Nara's fame, connections, location, racial makeup and skin colour all play a part in why she's more successful on the app in terms of visibility, following, and monetary gain. So taking from someone who has less access and means than her is even more unethical.
Dang it, it really does look like she is copying. I agree with the second lady. This is straight content for Nara. She gets paid to do this. I think it's great that she decided to do something with being a SAHW; something to keep her busy etc and still contribute to the family finances. That's why I tell others don't feel bad if they don't do the same. Yeah Onezwa needs to make sure that she has her receipts. I think it would be great if Nara just said, "I was inspired by..." Clearly, she KNOWS Onezwa's content. She was inspired by her because she said so, so she's caught there. I prefer Onezwa's video to nara because Onezwa has the goats, the garden, the farm to table type content. Nara, though she's lovely I just roll my eyes with her. People have a hard time holding the people that they have poured their admiration into accountable. It's rough. It's admitting that you were duped. You gave your praise to possibly someone that isn't who you thought they were and that's ok.
I watched both women and no just no. First of all Onezwa makes a lot of dishes of her region. Second of all i have yet to see a video where Naraa milks a goat and cooks chicken feet. Lastly I am not going to be gaslite to believe that some woman on a farm in South Africa invent Boba tea and mozzarella. Boba tea was invented in Taiwan and Mozzarella cheese originates from Italy. Pinterest has hundreds of recipes on how to make both and there isn't much variation on how they are made. I find it hilarious that everyone is bringing up some comment made a year ago. Do you know how many comments I make in a year? If someone asked me if I know who XYZ is I am going to say no if I am not actively following them. Saying they made a comment a year ago is doesn't mean they are actively following them or they even remembered what they watched,
But I feel like Nara is trolling Onezwa. She might have had it scheduled for next week but decided to post it a day after Onezwa. That's my gut feeling after hearing about the 2 days apart boba videos. She knows what she's doing. Nara has always been about the rage baiting
People are reaching so hard. There are thousands of women in this same genre, but they don't even look similar. I even think Nara possibly has a content manager picking out content for her. I've even seen Asian creators who have closer similarities to Nara than Onezwa. I know SA pedestalize lighter skin, but this is not the one.
The whole world pedestalizes lighter skin, not just SA. Have you ever heard of this certain social hierarchy we all live under. Or how those with lighter skin are deemed automatically smarter, more mild mannered, prettier, more innocent, etc It’s no coincidence that the beautiful South African lady is being demonised. Whilst the light skin lady is being defended by so many 🤷🏾♀️
Unpopular opinion: Nara Smith didn’t steal anything…. The internet has made people overanalyse and crazy. Also let’s be HONEST.. so what if she liked a post by the south African lady a year ago and claimed that she didn’t know her? Are y’all really gonna act like you remember the content or page of every creator you’ve seen on TikTok?? I’ve liked/ commented on tons of videos and if anyone showed me a creator whose content I had visited/liked a week ago (let alone a year) I wouldn’t remember them at ALL. Also SO WHAT about the boba drink. Even if Nara did see her video and decide that she wanted to make boba too what’s wrong with that?? It wasn’t even the same kind of boba 😅 she also didn’t show herself milking a goat? She doesn’t need to credit her for that… boba can be made by anyone at anytime. Nara had made her own bubble gum, her own cornflakes etc. she has TONS of original content to counteract the accusation that she’s straight up copying. Regardless of whether she may occasionally take inspiration from the other creator… she’s clearly a very talented cook in her own right.

What Nara didn't account for is this girl standing up for herself but even more that the video went viral and made it's way into the US algorithm. The thing is the internet and social media have brought the world inextricably together so this obvs slipped her mind which is crazy imo, but when you don't think someone is important in your reality it is easy to forgot common sense in such scenarios...moral of that story treat ppl with respect ...until they fuck up of course haha. Of course this is my own conjecture and not the truth because we don't know! But i personally suspect something of this nature occured.
People calling Nara Smith black is wild🙄
It's that one drop rule mentality...
Even when they see that she's treated differently from black women 🤦🏿♀️
Black women did not make Nara famous, her fanbase is very mixed. Now go and make that other lady famous and let's move on. The lady in the white robe was on point, we need to see the correlation.
I wish people stop bullying her and let her be. Both are south African.
That other lady?? Excuse you. You mean the full blood, unambiguous, African woman? Your comment reeks of racism, colorism, and xenophobia. You sound pissed off at the mere idea of someone critiquing this biracial woman. It's giving I need to report your comment.
Thank you. Exactly
It’s crazy that you’re saying that. Obviously Nara’s aesthetic is a big part of her following. Pretty light skinned skinny girl. Don’t be slow
@@nanaakosuamensah1608 you all jealousy is out of this world. I love nara smith cos i am a very lazy person, extremely lazy if i should be honest. I am married have no kids right now and still find it difficult to cook for myself and my husband does most of the cooking. I just discovered that watching these content help me see just how lazy i am, and i am beginning to work on myself. Alot of women who truly love Nara love her not because of her skin color but because they can relate to her contents. I won’t watch a content from the other lady cos there is no way i am milking my own goat or cow or whatever she does on her video, i can’t relate to her lifestyle.
I just started watching The Girl From Nowhere and wow this is the real life equivalent of episode 3 😳..
*Colonizers be Colonizing* 🙃
They continue doing what they do best
Both of these women have changed their voices that’s crazy
I think Nara lied about where her inspiration is coming from because it goes against the little story life she has made up for her character she has made up. She makes up reasons why she is even making what she is. Then, when she is talking about what she makes, she talks in such a way that it's like the 100th time she's made it. Nara Smith's stuff is all staged and that fine, but she is trying to act like it's not. She can't say, I saw Onezwa make this, so I wanted to try and make it too because it goes against her little play she puts on.
People didn’t think diddy was doing what he was doing back in the day and others would say he’s diddy he doesn’t have to grape anyone and here we are now. So people saying Nara has no reason to steal is ludicrous. I believe there are similarities but their niche is different. They both bring unique qualities to their content creation. It would be nice if they could do a collab and put a stop to it. Nara can post a video saying she used onezwa videos as inspiration and boom. End of story.
It's giving "house vs field" and I don't like it😢
What's most unfortunate about this discourse is the obvious parallels between these ladies and the white supremacist mindset of the followers. Based on all the back and forth between the fans. It's disgusting. Looking at both, I truly resonate more with Onezwa because she gives me relatable familiar (ancestry🌎) vibes, in the best kind of way❤🙏🏾
You should do a video showing the receipts. I haven’t seen any receipts just people talking about the receipts. Just an idea since I don’t have tiktok or the time to actually investigate 😂
This is real delulu
You know what not that you gave me the inspiration for the thing I want to do but since your last video you gave me inspiration to actually start. Love your work ethics ❤
What happened to being your own original person?
There's more money in stealing/coping content.
Idk how people make money online, but Onezwa said she can’t make money on her videos bc she’s in SA, but people are mad Nara is making money off of them?? Do people want her to give the money to Onezwa?? I’m not sure about the argument there. I think it would be waaay different if she could be monetized and Nara was stealing bc she’s taking money from her at that point. I may be wrong and I’m sure someone will let me know lol
You’re wrong when people steal it’s wrong.
🤔🤔DO you even know what point you're trying to make here? I could not make out exactly WHAT you're implying here.
@@sakiajohnson64 I don’t know enough to form a real opinion, honestly. Idk why Onezwa can’t make money on her videos just bc she lives in SA and I also don’t know how someone making money on similar content is taking her money… I’m just confused all around. In my head, if she could make money and Nara was purposely stealing her money by taking her views, that would definitely be stealing, but since she cannot Idk how it’s stealing her money. I’m equating it to- if I cannot eat this candy, I wouldn’t say someone who could eat it stole my candy (using as simple terms as possible for the sake of this example), but that could be wrong and I’m open to learning so I can better form an opinion. I’m wondering if it’s keeping her from getting more brand deals?? She mentioned that so that’s where my head is at now…
@@Mochalolo1928Tiktok decides what countries they allow to make money on the app. Onezwa can't make money off of her content but that is still her intellectual property so Nara stealing her ideas(ex: her mannerisms, her entertainment ideas in the form of music, and the topics of the videos) is still wrong. Not being able to make money off of it is irrelevant in the case of: "did Nara steal or not?" Even though the issue of who gets to make money and whose content gets pushed through the algorithm is a very big problem in and of itself. The answer to the main question is Yes. Yes, Nara is wrong. Yes, Nara stole. Nara's fame, connections, location, racial makeup and skin colour all play a part in why she's more successful on the app in terms of visibility, following, and monetary gain. So taking from someone who has less access and means than her is even more unethical.
@@Carpathianpixie thank you for the explanation. I really appreciate the breakdown and I agree with what you said!
Dang it, it really does look like she is copying. I agree with the second lady. This is straight content for Nara. She gets paid to do this. I think it's great that she decided to do something with being a SAHW; something to keep her busy etc and still contribute to the family finances. That's why I tell others don't feel bad if they don't do the same. Yeah Onezwa needs to make sure that she has her receipts. I think it would be great if Nara just said, "I was inspired by..." Clearly, she KNOWS Onezwa's content. She was inspired by her because she said so, so she's caught there. I prefer Onezwa's video to nara because Onezwa has the goats, the garden, the farm to table type content. Nara, though she's lovely I just roll my eyes with her.
People have a hard time holding the people that they have poured their admiration into accountable. It's rough. It's admitting that you were duped. You gave your praise to possibly someone that isn't who you thought they were and that's ok.
I watched both women and no just no. First of all Onezwa makes a lot of dishes of her region. Second of all i have yet to see a video where Naraa milks a goat and cooks chicken feet. Lastly I am not going to be gaslite to believe that some woman on a farm in South Africa invent Boba tea and mozzarella. Boba tea was invented in Taiwan and Mozzarella cheese originates from Italy. Pinterest has hundreds of recipes on how to make both and there isn't much variation on how they are made. I find it hilarious that everyone is bringing up some comment made a year ago. Do you know how many comments I make in a year? If someone asked me if I know who XYZ is I am going to say no if I am not actively following them. Saying they made a comment a year ago is doesn't mean they are actively following them or they even remembered what they watched,
Thank you for saying this.
This fact that nara claimed she didn’t know her but commented on her page yeah team O
Team Onezwa❤
But I feel like Nara is trolling Onezwa. She might have had it scheduled for next week but decided to post it a day after Onezwa. That's my gut feeling after hearing about the 2 days apart boba videos. She knows what she's doing. Nara has always been about the rage baiting
People are reaching so hard. There are thousands of women in this same genre, but they don't even look similar. I even think Nara possibly has a content manager picking out content for her. I've even seen Asian creators who have closer similarities to Nara than Onezwa. I know SA pedestalize lighter skin, but this is not the one.
The whole world pedestalizes lighter skin, not just SA. Have you ever heard of this certain social hierarchy we all live under. Or how those with lighter skin are deemed automatically smarter, more mild mannered, prettier, more innocent, etc It’s no coincidence that the beautiful South African lady is being demonised. Whilst the light skin lady is being defended by so many 🤷🏾♀️
@@priscillaf9887Exactly💯, ty because why are people acting like it doesn't exist in this day and age
Unpopular opinion:
Nara Smith didn’t steal anything…. The internet has made people overanalyse and crazy.
Also let’s be HONEST.. so what if she liked a post by the south African lady a year ago and claimed that she didn’t know her? Are y’all really gonna act like you remember the content or page of every creator you’ve seen on TikTok?? I’ve liked/ commented on tons of videos and if anyone showed me a creator whose content I had visited/liked a week ago (let alone a year) I wouldn’t remember them at ALL.
Also SO WHAT about the boba drink. Even if Nara did see her video and decide that she wanted to make boba too what’s wrong with that?? It wasn’t even the same kind of boba 😅 she also didn’t show herself milking a goat? She doesn’t need to credit her for that… boba can be made by anyone at anytime.
Nara had made her own bubble gum, her own cornflakes etc. she has TONS of original content to counteract the accusation that she’s straight up copying. Regardless of whether she may occasionally take inspiration from the other creator… she’s clearly a very talented cook in her own right.
Nara Smith is not stealing her content, Oneswa content is not Trademark or patent so anyone legally can make food for scratch .
It’s stealing duh.
@@EavyMuturuh it's not idiot
@@EavyMuturuhexactly. Dwiii
Nara is biracial and her mother is colored from south Africa. Nara is doing her own thing. I think people do not like her hence the attacks.
Wait I thought she was a white american
@@ntuthukomdluli-pd9jv no she's married to a yt American Mormon. And she's switching her religion to his.
@@Sunny-tc3ulwtf is Mormon
She literally is not doingher own thing...that's the point of the video 😅
Nara's mother is not coloured she's black. From the baSotho tribe.
No I will not excuse your dirty whatever u said. Ma'am change your bedding and get yourself together before 2 make videos.
Lol omg 😂😂😂
Exactly when she said that I fast forward it.

The excuse of saying there are several content creators who make similar content excuses Yara in this situation how exactly? The evidence points to blatant stealing of ideas and asethic. The several coincidences of Yara interacting with this woman's content and subsequently replicating it, are very blatant.
