[@magical_penguin9895]

Maafa 1619 ?

[@LaiLa-tl9yo]

Maafa 1619 Dude, you need to chill out and you think you own Yara and you don’t. She’s doing what ever she wants so it’s not your problem. YOU’LL be working at a low payed restaurant that barley gets customers with RATS

[@magical_penguin9895]

[@DivaDen]

Scrunchie! This girl is going BIG places. Full steam ahead young lady. 👏👀

[@fightermma]

Hello Times sure are different now. The art of socialising is a lost art. What ever happened to actually meeting with someone sharing good vibes and hitting it off. So many people today are stuck inside 24/7 on the internet. Lol it's happened to me at times. Go e are the days of going to the video store renting a movie and watching with your family over the weekend. Now everyone has their own devices and watches their own shows in seperate rooms. However it doesn't have to be like that. We could all connect back to each other and nature. Do you ever feel the world has changed so much?

[@danielledg]

i thought she was way older omygoodness she's only a year older than me what

[@melliemel32]

[@zakibsa4212]

#GreatInDaFlesh.

[@lightbeam461]

It’s very stupid and arrogant of black people just to say that she is black because she is well educated. If you know Iranian people then you know how important education means to them. That is not something you can say about African Americans.

[@pizzashit3875]

These kids be acting grown like be a kid tf Hollywood is effed up aye

[@nae9980]

Jada Laya she 18 tf t

[@zoealexa4070]

You mean, be dumb? We have enough of those. No thanks, we need more Yara's. "They" may be your doctor one day....keep that in mind.

[@LaiLa-tl9yo]

pizza shit What? Do you know what’s she’s being doing? She’s not acting grown. Do you want her to act like a person that doesn’t have any sense of intellect? NO, we’re fine. She’s a good role model for teens and we need more people like her. She’s not acting grown, she’s acting intelligent and acting like an actual woman instead of acting like people that don’t care about their life.
