Life Advice from a 101 Year Old You Didn't Know You Needed

[@Sprouht]

Hey guys! Thank you for watching. Slight mistake on our end -> This is not Mamie Plummer. This is Mamie Hansberry - we put the wrong name inside the introduction. Other than that, we hope you enjoyed the video with her!

[@chrissymcmillan5364]

is she still safe in LA at the moment?

[@HindiLearnersDiary]

This lady is extraordinary. So pretty and so lively at 101! A role model!

[@thisisHowHedidit]

SHE COMPLETELY STOLE MY HEART!! 💝🙏🏾💝🙏🏾💝🙏🏾💝

[@Sprouht]

She's amazing

[@marylynch951]

Me too ❤❤

[@epifaniacabangontongol3748]

I love this lady….. good vibes!! Really impressive…. Walking and no prescription. But I think it’s her disposition…. She seems easy to love and be around!🎉

[@marylynch951]

🙏🙏

[@butterflyroho6470]

She looks better than many people more than half her age. Legit!!

[@dertythegrower]

truly, i would have guessed 68 to 73

[@darude1420]

That's so true!

[@marylynch951]

Absolutely agree 💯

[@gmaneis]

I share this beautiful woman's birthday, but little else. She has far outdone what I have accomplished in 77 years. She's a national treasure! Such inspiring words! Thank you!

[@qwerty-f4s]

101?? She looks stunning

[@bellakim9404]

She looks better than the 30/ 40 year olds who have had work done. You can tell she's happy.

[@FTYC2022]

It's that beautiful melanin 😊

[@Rk_FACt_78]

i remember feeling like i was always the one fading into the background while others stood out effortlessly. it was frustrating and made me doubt myself a lot. then i came across this book, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it showed me things i’d never even considered. it’s not just a self-help book; it’s like a guide to understanding your own energy and using it to connect with people. if you’ve ever felt like you’re not seen, this book might change everything.

[@Sunshinesinthesky]

What a gorgeous and wise woman! Bowing down to a beautiful soul whose joy and youthfulness transpires in her presence and her words. ❤

[@joyconnell1318]

Such a kind, and caring person! It’s not fair what her people went through but it’s people like Mamie that helped make things right …. Listening to her survival skills is wisdom out loud! God bless us all! Thank you for sharing …. ❤

[@KismetBP]

She radiates charm & happiness. ❤

[@marylynch951]

Yes she does ❤❤❤

[@wmb7163]

Beautiful lady! You can tell that her sense of purpose and good humor have taken her far. Her love for her parents (maybe born in the 19th century?) lives on. ❤

[@skysimba8953]

She looks amazing at 101 with a great sense of humor.

[@marylynch951]

Yes and her mind so alert Amazing ❤❤

[@carmenthompson9803]

My mother is 82 years and always says something good is going to happen to me today and through me

[@Vision2life1]

She doesn't look 101. Just awesome to still have her a memory.

[@Amor09876]

Exactly I’m a nurse m see ppl with dementia in there 60s often ..it’s also so amazing she’s not on any meds in her 100s

[@marylynch951]

And not on any medication Omg God bless her always

[@jamesma8209]

Wow! This is my favorite interview so far! Plz interview her again! You are lucky to have met her! She is sharp and beautiful! I want to be just like her! Thank you for sharing her with the internet! 💞

[@ChampionSoulEver]

Melanin is a beautiful thing. Thank you great creator for this moment and this beautiful beloved soul.

Black don’t crack. She looks good and still has a sound mind.

[@akin9868]

Unless we do crack 😅😂

[@sherryoloughlin1251]

SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUT GOD BLESS HER AND KEEP HER SAFE ♥️

[@selinov]

You found a black person!!! 👏🏾 I’ve been watching this channel for a long time and I feel like 98% of the time you’re speaking to a Caucasian whose advice often does not apply to my experience. It may have been 1/100 videos but I’ll take it. 👍🏾

[@rachelbass7914]

She is beautiful ❤

[@rbarr8143]

I love these types of interviews. She is so positive in the wake for all the discrimination she has faced.

[@sharilynnpalmer7435]

[@jaynelindemann6450]

She looks so much younger wow

[@lex28lush10]

She has so much Grace about her and upright posture still .... bring a smile to my face x Thank you for this inspiring story .

[@TenTenJ]

Here’s the secret ingredient: “I brush my hard time off” + “You have to do something…about what’s been done….and move us ahead.” A resilient determination to be happy and a sense of purpose.

[@MarkBH70]

She's AMAZING!! I saw a Black woman that was 108. Apart from violence and drugs, Blacks, especially, the women, age slower and live longer!!

[@zythr9999]

Upsets many whites?

[@BettyCollins88]

don't forget, the racism 🙄we actually don't live as long, on avg, bc of that small detail

[@MarkBH70]

@BettyCollins88 Yes, racism can factor in, but the US constantly talks about racism, sexism, transphobia--but women still live longer than men. Morgan Freeman said, "Stop talking about it."

[@weisong3917]

@@MarkBH70Racism is fact of life even if you don’t talk about it. If your parents were slaves, you would rather forget racism?

[@kimberlyharvey8876]

She is just amazing and extremely intelligent and beautiful this is one of my favorite videos . She looks fantastic and. Sharp as a tool I thought she is maybe 70 as she is gorgeous and even though she experienced hard ships throughout her life she definitely did not allow those times define her. Such a blessing you had the chance to speak with her. So glad you shared this. So happy to hear and see her, thank you

[@emmada]

I'm amazed the way she's thinking life, so inspiring and positive. Experience talking at 101 years old! I'll listen the interview multiple times, gave me so much joy listenning to her! Thank you very much, Merci!!!🙏

[@TheSteakSammich]

My aunt is 105.... Still has all her wits about her. This was awesome!

[@dertythegrower]

[@TheSteakSammich]

@dertythegrower she was on local news when she turned 100. That would be cool to see her on this.

[@OscarWithC]

you are blessed!

[@ClicAleatorio]

Did she live a similar life if you know?

[@TheSteakSammich]

@@ClicAleatorio Yes. She's still around and lives close by. She doesn't drink though haha

[@bg-ij9uc]

This woman is totally and utterly lovely! Thank her from us please. A word of unsolicited advice if I might: you interview people who share their innermost thoughts and philosophies, it's a gift they give you and us. It would be respectful and respectable of you to show up in perhaps more tailored clothing. Just a thought that I hope you can appreciate.

[@johncampbell1152]

What a beautiful, lovely lady.

[@marylynch951]

Omg she looks adorable and no way does she looks 104 I love her attitude she has a pure soul May God continue blessing her ❤❤

[@DeannyPedro]

She’s Very cool and well I love how strong and healthy she is I must say, meanwhile one of the best things that happened to me last year was being blessed and honored with $30,000 every month, God has been more faithful to me Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and church. Glory hallelujah

[@RosaliaNoriego]

Really? Please tell me more about this and how possible it is ?

[@DeannyPedro]

This is what Melissa Jonas Richard does, she has changed my life.

[@DeannyPedro]

After raising up to 30k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.

[@NoahTrevin]

I hit $106k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started last month 2024. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.

[@NoahTrevin]

It's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I'm guided by Evelyn Vera. for years and highly recommend her I focus on her. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.

[@KennySantiago-w9l]

⁠Damn that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?.. I have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

[@NoahTrevin]

⁠It's Ms. Evelyn Vera doing, she's changed my life.

[@MichelleStLaurent]

⁠Oh I love that woman so much I started pretty low, though, $4000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Elijah is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Evelyn Vera, you're a miracle.

[@AugustineHoop]

⁠I'm desperate to turn my finance around. I've been working three jobs to pay off debts. Can someone please share info? I need her help.

Best video here for me! But all are great.

[@RustySporks]

If you do an online search for her name you'll find the video at 0:25. This isn't the same person. In that video, she says she was born on June 4th, this lady says April 2nd. They also clearly aren't the same person. I think the uploader of this video has been misled.

[@Sprouht]

Thank you for pointing this out. This was a rare mistake on me and my team’s end in the editing room. This is Mamie Hansberry! She’s the best☺️ Thanks for fact checking!
