Whatever, Biden. You can get rid of TikTok … as long as we can keep these adorable Instagram reels like that of a 6-year-old Black girl who was thrusted in the spotlight for the sweetest self-love video you’ll ever see.

“I’m a queen! I’m a young queen! I’m a superstar!” shouted Tatum, the daughter of Jay or @dadsdoittoo on Instagram.

Jay starts off the video telling his daughter he will leave her in the bathroom for 20 seconds to say whatever she wants.

“I won’t get mad, okay?” Jay says while closing the bathroom door.

“I got this!” Tatum shouts with a cheeky smile.

We weren’t sure what to expect with an “I won’t get mad” warning. Other kids who have been encouraged to do this 20-second challenge on social media resort to using all the cuss words mama said not to say in front of her. However, what came out of Tatum’s mouth was a list of positive, self-love affirmations each exclaimed with the most confident (and cutest) attitude.

“I’m beautiful! I’m smart! And I love myself!” she cheered to herself. “And I’m a Barbie! And I look pretty,” she said cocking her head to the side.

Tatum ended the video with a kissy face and peace sign. The viral video garnered over 4,000 comments, including one from the official Barbie account reading, “And don’t you forget it,” with a pink heart emoji.

It’s safe to say, Tatum’s father was proud his daughter took the trend to a new, positive level.

“Seeing the things I instilled into her and hearing her speak the words of affirmation felt good to see,” Jay told ABC’s ‘Good Morning America.’ “I try my best to motivate my daughter and build her up. This time she showcased her confidence and intelligence.”

Maybe all of us need to try encouraging ourselves like Tatum before we start our day.
