SPOKEN WORD
I’ve been watching ‘America’s Got Talent’ 2020. This is a different one. It began the usual way … auditions, buzzers, golden buzzers, etc.
Then COVID hit!!
This young man, Brandon Leake, caught my heart. He received a ‘Golden Buzzer’ from Howie Mandel on his first try.
In the quarterfinals, he showed his talent and his living in the current moment of civil unrest due killing of unarmed Black men and women to police brutality.
Take a look. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
