Introducing Kelli Amirah, a 19-year-old Howard University student residing in Washington D.C, and one of the funniest people to grace the internet this month
December 6 was no ordinary day on Twitter, in fact it was almost more entertaining than some blockbuster movies. It was the day that Kelli documented the now-famous Uber story of her trying (really, really hard) to ask out her driver. If a social media hall of fame existed, this tale would be her inauguration.
Y’all I just shot my shot at an uber driver 😅

So we get in the car and I realize the voice match the person. He fine. He light bright. Got a beard. Wearing glasses. All good things

So there’s minor small talk in the car, nothing major, And our destination is quickly approaching. But I’m not ready to shoot yet
