"Reduce the American accent beautiful. I was watching your interview. Don't lose the South ah accent"

"I never understood this What if the "American accent" is just the way you talk? How do I reduce the way I talk?"

@unhinged_corner shared:

"Leave her alone. At least she doesn't say her name is "Embarleigh". She says her name correctly, she speaks IsiZulu ngendlela and that's the most important part, we don't care about non-African languages."
