I recently spoke with the mother of the child in this video as I am a native Michigander. I was very touched by her story and reached out to them to design a website, logo & video widget for Amiya. In talking with her, I learned some interesting things about this bright little girl and her dear mom. They are a beautiful team and a force to be reckoned with.

I also learned some very disturbing news. Amiya attends a very prestigious private school in Michigan and is clearly very bright and talented. Her Caucasian teacher did something that for me, can go down in history as one of the most racist and belittling things you could say to a child. Her teacher phoned her mom and told her that Amiya holds her head TOOOOO high and needs to be talked to. Well Amiya's mom responded by saying, should she bow her head in shame and keep it low. She also stated that she was going to get her either some high heels or stilts, so that she can hold it even higher.

Now, in talking with her mom she stated that Amiya is very down to earth and very caring. I can certainly tell this because she herself stated that she wants to keep her fees affordable for her students. Maybe some of the larger Corporations can take some advice from her. Tell us your thoughts.
