Great job, Monique! Your enthusiasm always shines through on your videos. The topic is sure to drive up viewer interest with all of the interesting things you discussed in the video. A few things to improve: Throwing in a quick call to action always goes best right after you state the point of your video. Also, the video has some pretty dark shadows, having a lamp in front of you to help with illumination would go a long way. Keep up the great work, Monique, we look forward to seeing more great content like this in the future!
