- Elaine DePrince and her daughter, Mia, discuss their family of eleven children, including six girls from West Africa and three boys battling hemophilia and HIV. Elaine discusses the book she wrote with her daughter Michaela, Taking Flight, about Michaela's work as a prima donna Ballerina with co-hosts Priya Sridhar and Rain Pryor on Arise and Shine. Produced by Arlene Wilkinson.
I wish the interviewers would have pointed out that Mia is a very accomplished pianist and is a beautiful singer. Yes, Michaela deserves the spotlight on her plight to becoming a prima ballerina, but Mia is sitting right there with a ton of talent of her own. Check out her videos her on youtube.
What's her handle
@@sherencesathekgekellyes309 I agree. Sh s sitting right ther, so I wish they had included a little spotlight on her accomplishments, too.
This lady is a blessing
This comment should have way more likes. This is the comment that I was searching for, the sincerity and purity of her heart is amazing.
She has a big heart
I like that she had black mentors for her children❤️
I felt that the interviewers missed so many keys they got provided by Elaine and Mia to build on those and to give them the opportunity to send those messages out that they wanted other people to hear - one of which , e.g., was the fact that you needed to pick a guy that would actually love to support you in your dream as an adoptive mom - she could have helped laying this out in more detail -
Yes, and Mia for what she did in her young life to make herself feel happy and striving....
It was a short spot on the program. Anyways, their stories deserve to be told.
What an AWESOME women!. Thank you, ma'am! YOU are my idol!
Oh
What a great lady God help you through your pain and allowing you to open your heart to these girls
The interviewer where curt, they didn’t seem to want to fully engage with their guest, because they wanted to get to the point of where they wanted to go. I didn’t like that they kept cutting Mrs. DePrince’s answers short. And the ending was awkward!
I really hope both women have developed into better interviewers because people telling their story deserve better!
These kind of uneducated journalists (?) do not understand, what a great speaker with inspiring thoughts they face.
Exactly…a missed opportunity and embarrassment.
So Rain wanted to give attention to Mia, the woman that's right there in the room. but Priya wanted to shine the spotlight right back onto the more famous sister. So rude.
why was this interviewer so shocked when Mia spoke? what did she expect? she said that Mia was so "articulate". why is it that whenever an educated Black person speaks, people respond with the "articulate" comment?
also, the children that Elaine adopted from Sierra Leone were African, not African-American. these people need to do some research and educate themselves before doing interviews. good grief.
Why does Color have to be Brought Up In Every interview, and in the First Sentence or once in a while the Second Sentence? That would be like Me starting This interview With "GOD BLESS This White Woman For TAKING IN and SAVING these Poor Blacks because Otherwise, they would no doubt BE DEAD!"But No, Without Pictures it would no Doubt Be Almost Impossible To Have Any Idea Who or What Saved Them from Certain Death in Sierra Leone! Which is No Doubt The Corner Stone of this Tale, The Person Who Made Survival Possible!
So you See Color Has Not One Darn Thing to Do with it, Love of Her Fellow Human Being, Kindness and The Lords Love is What Has Everything To Do With This! And Certainly Not Color!
@@ganash11 Sounds nice, but the fact of the matter is that Black people are FORCED to notice their own color daily because everyone else makes a problem of it. Black people are not treated as equal, so when Blacks accomplish something amazing, race is mentioned because it is typically not allowed to happen. You see we're still talking about, "The first Black this... and The first Black that..." It will continued to be a relevant factor until Blacks are not ostracized based on skin. Mia just said to this day, she is followed. We all are.
Isn't the interviewer dark skinned too?
@@ttttg5302 are you referring to Priya? She's Indian.
I have called white people articulate, too. If you listen, you will hear that word being used regarding people of all ethnicities.
This was to short .
Mia Mabinty DePrince. who else read Micheala's book??
I can't put my finger on something.
I AGREE WITH THE INTERVIEWERS DOING A LOW RATED INTERVIEW. SO MUCH MORE COULD HAVE BEEN HI-lighted!!! 👎🙏. Joan
rude and unprofessional. you have guests on the show. where are your manners.
Big up Mum
"a hunting rifle"
Very strange interviewers - no homework on the book, authors etc. MIA is an accomplished pianist as well. They were African when adopted, before AA. Discrimination was experienced due to their blackness not proximity to whiteness. Very abrupt and backward end as well.
Weren't African Americans 🙄🙄🙄🙄🤔 I'm not sure who came up with this or why🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Wtf?
what a useless interview
