Yeah I remember her being mentioned here or on Reloaded some time ago. Great roundup of images and creative opening splices. She coulda just ran a slideshow with music but those open splices are priceless. Does she tap into the research here on ES? She mentions Keita, but not until Video 5, rather than putting the strongest, hardest-hitting stuff up front.
She mentions the now defunct Madilda's Anthro in Video 1, giving the distorter way too much early publicity and way too much credit- saying she accepts the "facts" from Matilda's blog. This tells me she hasn't fully engaged the hard data in detail, and she appears to be relying somewhat on old Wikipedia pages on some things. To her credit, she has a great roundup of indigenous tropical African images.
She doesn't even mention limb proportions until Video #7- way too late in the game. Madilda gets at least 3 minutes of free press in the first video- the one most frequently viewed, while key data like Keita and limb proportions don't appear until 5-6 videos back in the queue. This makes her series much less effective than it could be. The first video needs to be a hard-hitting, uncompromising summary, highlighting all the key hardball data. Those back in the queue, which will get less viewership can always add more detail later.
Still to her credit she does include some good detail on deck, showing that the spread of data here on ES has undercut the influence of bogus Wiki distortions. Despite the weaknesses, her's is a good Level 2 engagement to the subject. I commend her.

She does reference to EgyptSearch and used info from here, considering that I have posted some of the stuff, and from what I understand she has a background in anthropology.
The Mathilda stuff she uses as sarcasm. The wiki she explains as not being scientific and reliable. But for obvious reasons she uses it, to explain what the mainstream public thinks.
She does a great job on the deconstruction of the eugenics movement.
Lastly, I wil contact her and inform her on some other hard data. So she can use it in the upcoming episode.

Considering she has a channel, https://www.youtube.com/user/Lashid4u/discussion why not write to her with your assessments and suggestions (and get her to sign up here).
