“The way I got here was learning about you and your culture” ✊🏼🤧
Really???
Lakira Jackson ?
@Lakira Jackson forgive him I doubt he understood that line 🤷🏾♂️
havva i-
havva welcome and enjoy thank you for interesting
Do you know what it’s like to hear your native tongue disappearing? That’s crazy
Mel Mel bruh. I was just thinking of it - it’s happening to me.
Nah but the Brightside is they can also retrace their roots to their beginnings ..some can not
Ask that to the so-called African American who don't even know they ever had one. We are told to go back to places that we none of our ancestor ever been to or came from. America is all we know. Those of us that cameon ships that ain't Gullah have no clue to their native language, diet, traditions, or history. We don't remember the true names of the gods we served or dances or ceremonies of our original culture. Language? Try history. Try finding the truth of yourself only to be deny it because it makes your enemies uncomfortable while they look down on you, call you names, and attack your families. Commit open war in anticipation of your retaliation just so they can prove who's the stronger. A race war you never wanted, never needed, and never asked for. It doesn't matter what your experiences are or where you come from as long as they get to tell you about you from their stand points and views. I'm a so-called African/Native American. I know all to well.
are u reallly making a joke of this
@@nonyabidness3504 Erykah Badu did it and so can you.
oh my god the great voice acting for each age
“The future are for those who are prepared for it”, dope poem!
malcom x said that actually, but yea i truly love this poem too!
when she said “where do i go” i BAWLED
I know how that feels honestly I am born and raised in Australia but they say why don't you have an Aussie accent, why is your skin so dark all these questions when I thought this was my home
Darling my generation have been saying it for fifty years. Time has not changed attitudes
Damn. That was powerful. I might have a new favorite poet now.
Chewing my food everyday knowing my native tongue is disappearing 🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥💥
The Somali flag is the backbone of the night sky for a reason 🇸🇴💙
Exactly....
The sky is the limit,we over see the world reacting
🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴💙💙💙😍😍😍
It will be the only symbol remaining of somali trust me
Her skin tho😘
Girl 😭😭
her face is soo beautiful, omg
gypsy lab What?
gypsy lab lmaooo ok
Right
Her abaya is beautiful 💛
She’s not wearing an abayah
@@useroffline9999 okay
@gypsy lab excuse me?
@gypsy lab because
@@useroffline9999 oh, then what's it called?
MUNA ABDULLAHI thank you my sister! You make all of Somalis proud❤🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴💪💪💪💪
SO MA LI get it right.
the fact that the host said “give it up for the poet” at the end instead of saying her name is highly ironic and lowkey annoying since the whole poem was about being acknowledged and pronouncing her correctly. and then you don’t bother to say her name.
Shantavia Thomas I get what ur saying but he says that after every single poem
I didn't even notice that the first time...wow.
Wow
Yeah, that was annoying and they said it with a dismissive tone. Listen again, if you have time...
She is afraid of pronouncing her name incorrectly.
I am somali and I left my home country when I was seven,never got the chance to feel the love and to stay a little longer.I was on the road going to countries that I didn't belong to and not feeling the beautiful feelings when you're in your country.Not knowing the brave hearts that died for our country and not knowing the love our ancestors had for the country that many people try to make it look filthy and dangerous,so fellas let's hold on to our roots and love will prevail Insha'Allah.
Aziza Maalim God Bless!
@@bdjonx Thank you
It is honor to love your country and your culture. Welcome back to your beloved country Somalia.
Beautiful words my dear sister. One day we will return to our fatherland march forward with our fellow brothers and sisters of Somalis, where our mindset and our eyes are on the look of the horizon. With dignity, unity and above of all, strong Muslims.
Forever and ever.
This is such a beautiful, powerful poem, just like the poet.
I'm not gonna lie. I literally cliicked on this because she looked so beautiful in the thumbnail. She is gorgeous. Wow. Her skiin is flawless and glows. Somaalis are really pretty.
Thanks 😊 🙏 whre u from?
This is so powerful. And so sad what people say or think...🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😔😔

Beautiful poem Muna 💕
WHAT AN AWARD WINNING SPEECH. THIS IS AMAZING!
I like Muna, she's great and I'm proud of her as a Somalian. God bless her, she is a natural poet.
But how can I get her number

Duqdii Mama malyun ku dhaganeed bom😁😁😁🤣

She's beautiful and soo smart
Damn, She’s Beautiful Asf
Hi, I’m from Nigeria and I totally agree with you. I can’t even count the number of racist remarks that I have heard in my life but especially in my workplace. My coworkers think that I work in the company because of the quotas and not because I’m smart and because I deserve my place.
You are amazing and it’s a beautiful poem👏.
We are proud of you, just as Somali🤝
Keep fighting ✊
I'm Nigeria too and I get you. You're not alone.
Masha Allaah My Sister 🇸🇴❤
Powerful Massege

Goosebumps.
That was a good show and book series.
This was so beautiful!
Muna abaayo you come from the greatest land of poetry soomaaliya hanoo laato
I'm now seeing this....Aww this touched me to my soul but when the announcer said "give it up for the poet" I knew she didn't hear the words and couldn't be bothered.....that is sad
Next time someone tells u guys my brothers and sisters to go back to where you came from tell them we'd love to but your government either bombed where we came from or destroyed it Culturally, economically and safety
And when they tell you to get out of my country just say when you get out of mine
Your brother from Lebanon Stay strong and proud of your roots
You are right brother! actually who is from America ?
Lisa marie
Every country colonize to onather country, not only American. I don't understand why people finger point to America. America gives us welcome warmly, we have to appreciate not to criticize.
Why we are here if we have great countries than America.
ALLAH swt said in the QUR'AN if you don't appreciate to humanbein that means you don't appreciate to GOD. On top of that white people at least they add their history what ever they did, if it's right or it's wrong.
What about other countries. We are master right.
YAHABIBI WELL SAID THANK YOU
SOMALI IS ALWAYS STRONG WERE EVER WE ARE.
THANK YOU ALLAH THAN YOU MY DEAR BROTHER
@@ilhanhassan9813 they finger point to america cuz they are meddling amd causing disaster where ever they go, only those who hav suffered can understand

I'm so proud of you
That was deep 😥
Muna I am so proud of you!
She is awesome ❤❤
We are muslim first second African third somali and proud. Good job sis from the nation of poets horn of Africa Somalia.
Habo yes we're Muslims first and Somali second because Somalia is in Africa so you're automatically proud African
Being Somali is being Muslim and being African, the best of both worlds.
@@mayasquaw2254 I couldn't have said it better you're so right👍
@@mayasquaw2254 and then you are wrong you are the only African here
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Her beauty 😍😍
Masha allah habo your poem inspires people, I hope you'll keep on making great poems and staying true to your Somali identity💓👍
Ma sha Allah sister may Allah protect you
YES!!!
She is sooooo beautiful
Reminded me of "the negro speaks of rivers" - good one!
Yes girl, you better tell them. 👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ That was so lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yoooooooooooooo this made me cry
Wonderful Talent. Love it.
I feel this 😭😍
Beautiful in every way
Amazing poem! Thank you for sharing
Amazing!
That was powerful! Love you sis.😘
Beautiful poem with beautiful abaya. Well done, and I love it✍✍❤❤❤
BEYOND AMAZING 👏👏👏BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO🙇🙇🙏
Love the delivery of this
It was so powerful! I just struggled to connect because she was reading off her phone.. It was still an amazing piece though.
Chanc'e Moody I honestly didn’t even notice the phone, she was so powerful
I felt the phone thing too , but still amazing
I thought it was nice when she was acting as a 5 year old. That's generally how they are, all fidgety, not looking you in your eye all the time. This was beautiful to me as well. Remember everyone, ignorance is OK, refusing to better yourself, and the world, is just downright stupid.
Me too but I can understand she might have been afraid of her nerves taking over and forgetting words or lines! It seemed like a big audience was infront of her
oh wow!!! love this!!!
Beautiful ✊🏾
Nice 👍 May Almighty Allah bless you and see you progress in your life.
I love this
Who still watching 2020
I love her👇
very touching intensity! great!
Thanks for listening
