I took mild offense when Jemele asked her to stop using big words. No, what she is doing is educating you and others while simply being herself. It is reminiscent of the times when black people are presented with the backhanded compliment 'You are so well-spoken". The idea of a black person being able to string a subject and predicate together and inject thought, intellect and meaning behind that sentence should not be a taboo. I implore many more to learn from this young lady.

This is an educated woman please don't tell to stop speaking in her normal way . Am sure Jemele didn't mean for that statement to be so stupid ! I 've always admire her but didn't appreciate that remark about using big words . Think for one minute how many times in her life people have said you don't sound black . We know what black sound like to most people but you should know better !

I'm kind of disappointed with the interview... She's not digging for all the necessary gems in this interview. She's sounds like she's intimidated by Yara and therefore makes awkward nervous jokes.

I'm 12 yrs older than you Yara, and you inspire me on a level I cant explain!

The interviewer was clearly not prepared for this level of intellect. The questions asked didn’t match the interviewee!! Yara was on a completely different level. It’s obvious that Yara’s family is her strength, and they keep her grounded in this machine. So stay focused Yara...you got this!

I'm glad she wants to stay at home. She has a great family that loves and support her.

I love this interview!!! it is great to answer questions without getting worked up and serious i.e. putting off viewers by getting to moody about things like the world and the Universe. To explain what you mean and be articulate and make it look easy seems super easy. It is an art that most people feel that they can do with a snap of their fingers. Head to heart explanation are hard, look this up in google if you want to work in Hollywood practice. Ms Shahidi can run for President!!! Yara Shahidi has values and the ability to understand than the Universe more than herself.

Beautiful young woman. Loved how she said Mr. Fishburne which shows the beautiful job her parents have done raising her with respect of her Elders and others. This young lady is truly a role model for young people .

She jokingly said it because there are people in the audience and who will listen who may not know what that means.

It's powerfully moving to see the loving and respectful relationships she is developing from the marvelous example set by her parents and family. Her words reveal a wisdom far beyond her years, and her work will continue to speak across generations as a result!

She is so beautiful and smart

Shout out young Yara doing things her way, hope the industry don't put too much pressure on her to be this idea of of a perfect being.

Yara is such a gift! BET thank you for the interview!! It’s encouraging and so important that we hear young ppl who have change stored within them!

Again I love how she covers up she never dress half naked she's here for her job not for trends I love. Yara so elegant!!!! And beautiful 😍

I am so proud of Yara and by extension her family. I first saw her when Jason Bolden dressed her and she was so at ease, relaxed and down to earth communucating with him that she was able to leave an impression on me. Yara, who dressed you for this interview, is it Jason? He is my favourite stylist. Blessings to you for future growth.

When you have a great family foundation. It's hard for people to understand that you get along with your family. I come from a big family and we love each other & support each other.

Hollywood need more teen actors to have the love and support of their family. I lived with my parents til I got married at 24, after graduating from graduate school. I'm so glad had this time because once married moved across country. It became difficult to see them, and then unexpectedly my mom passed. Moved back home to help my dad and so he could know his grandkids on more intimate level by getting to see them daily or regularly. Michael B Jordan also lived with his parents and he also has a very supportive foundation, and it's good for these young artist to have this when it's so much negativity that goes on in the industry.

She reminds me of myself so much ! #TeamYara

She is Truly a Special Young Lady, full of Elegance and Poise, A Real Gem.. Black Gurl Magic...

I was extremely disappointed at this lady when she interviewed Yara! She would be better hosting The Love & Hiphop or Basketball Wives reunions. She definitely shouldn't host a show called Genuis Talks especially when she literally told Yara to stop using big words. Yara was a class act as usual but the interview was cringe worthy.

I do not like the fact that this woman asks her to stop using big words.
