For me, her "performance" was the best part of the whole show and her words certainly resonated in that benighted society to the south of us.

I hope her family are proud of her because he like Greta Thunberg will change peoples minds and therefore hopefully go on to change the world. I also learnt today from watching an interview that she was also someone who battled against a stammer good for her to show that she is strong in mind and determined enough to not let it control her life.
