omg this was SO GOOD! When I was 12 years old I messaged sWooZie on Facebook with an animation I made and asked for his thoughts, having been incredibly inspired by him as a creator. I never expected it, but he not only responded, he encouraged me too saying if he could make something like that when he was 12 - who knows where he'd be now. That message stuck with me for a long time (I'm 24 now). To be encouraged by my favourite KZfaqr meant the world to me and hearing in this video that he didn't get as much encouragement as he needed is a sign that he wanted to do for others what wasn't done enough for him. Adande absolutely deserves his flowers and I'm very appreciative that KZfaq put this together - it honours not just him, but all the people who have been deeply touched by his work over the years. Thank you ❤

SWooZie will forever be an inspiring legend and he’s so humble to boot.

Joining KZfaq is hands down one of the best decisions I've made in my life! Zero regrets. I've made connections with subscribers, Google/KZfaq staff and creators in the community that I look up to. If you're on the fence about creating, consider what I would've missed out on if I never started posting videos and the same could be applied to you. Every community is here and brewing with opportunity and like I mentioned in this (AMAZING) doc, your creativity is your only limitation! Just do it!

sWooZie is the grand father, the blue print and agent zero all at once, it is so rewarding to see him get the recognition he deserves

Swoozie has been on the platform since the start, he is what being a KZfaqr should be!

I'm a grown ass man but watching this made me shed a tear. Seeing swoozie succeed is such a good feeling, this man taught me so much when I was younger. I see swoozie as that distant brother that is always there no matter what. Living my best life with this man's wisdom and knowledge guiding me every step of the way. Going into my nursing program and gonna be saving lives and you can thank swoozie for guiding me through the years. CONGRATULATIONS KING🌹

This was GREAT. I've been a big fan of Swoozie for YEARS. He deserves all of his flowers. I've seen him stand for hours meeting fans at VidCon when he didn't even have an official meet & greet. He's loyal to all his fans and friends and most importantly, he's made a huge impact on this platform. He's always been a "KZfaq Hero" of mine and I wish him continued success. This video is exactly what I needed to see today.

Man, this guy was my hero, literally dragged me through college. His content was all the smiles I needed to keep pushing through so for me, he's a legend. Always got time for Swoozie.

Swoozie has earned the title: Animation King ✊🏾

I wasn’t expecting to see Swoozie getting his flowers. I love this

As a Trinidadian-American and a gamer, I love swoozie and have been following him for so many years. He's been inspiring and a great role model. Big up Swoozie ☺️🖤🌸 I hope these future generations of West Indian parents are more encouraging and supporting of their children.

This really showed a deeper and different side of Swoozie he deserves everything he has earned !

Seeing Swoozie cry just broke my heart. I just want to come through the screen and give him the BIGGEST hug and let him know, “Everything is going to be alright. Everything is in God’s planning and you’re going to be SOOO blessed!” You, Swoozie, ARE the reason animated storytelling exists on KZfaq. You were the 1st person I saw on KZfaq and watched religiously; “Kiss and Tell”, “2 Girls, 1 Ice” (the OG video), “Kissing a KZfaqr” (the OG video), “My First Kiss” (the OG video w/ Futurama playing in the background). You were placed here at the right place at the right time. You paved the way for SO many others, so they had a chance to show what they can do. To show that animated storytelling is an art form and therapy at the same time. God had His plans for you, Swoozie 😊 He knew exactly what you wanted and blessed you tenfold! You work SO hard and all of this is nothing but blessings! Know your worth 🙏🏽 and take the time to care for yourself; mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually 💙 Forever a homey of The Swoozie ✊🏽

He deserves all the flowers! 😊

i remember watching my first swoozie video and being like, i’m gonna do that one day. big inspiration. GOAT 🐐🐐

This guy deserves more credit than the most popular subbed animation storytime channels because he's the original inventor of a whole entire genre on KZfaq. He comforted and influenced a whole generation.

Swoozie is my CHILDHOOD!! He definitely deserves all the credit for the amazing videos he makes.

Swoozie is one of the goats of KZfaq. Bro was a pioneer in KZfaq animation and deserves all the respect in the world.

Been watching Swoozie for over 10 years now! His content has never fell off in quality. Truly a GOAT of youtube.

What a story. Truly, Swoozie is an inspiration to us all.

The first guy to create yt animation

Didn't expect to watch this whole video but the storytelling was truly captivating. Kudos to the series creators and for sWooZie for all they've done! As a fellow Trini it's great to see you killing it and inspiring a generation

this man was a huge impact on my life seeing him cry hits deep, bro made my days better growing up

Ahhh I love this! I've swatched Swoozie since the beginning and one of the coolest parts of my childhood was growing up with these animations. When all my cousins were together we would sit around and watch swoozie videos and laugh our butts off. Then I grew up and became a teacher and I would play the cheating series for my students when teaching them about my classroom expectations. We would all laugh but learn so much and create core memories in the process. Swoozie deserves every single one of his flowers. Awesome drawings, awesome storytelling, awesome guy!

Swoozie is definitely a pioneer in story time animation. Truly inspiring man.

thank you for being there for myself, my family, and everyone in the community all these years. 🙏🏽

Swoozie inspired me to start doing animation on KZfaq ❤

One of the coolest and most genuine humans I've met. Celeb or not, he deserved his flowers, much respect 🤙

swoozies is the reason why I work at Disney Land. he's really the GOAT of yt animations and on mount rushmore for best KZfaqrs all time and one of the only ogs of yt that still constantly upload today

Been a Fan of his for the longest time. He is absolutely amazing and talented. Loved this video, very inspirational ❤

He’s an icon, he’s a legend, and he is the moment.

I'm so proud of you doing videos like this keep it up with the good work my friends

This documentary is actually helping out a lot cus I’m currently making a school presentation about swoozie

This man deserves all the love and respect and support. He’s truly inspiring ✨✨ it’s so cool to watch him come so far and it’s only onwards and upward from here ✨✨

This is such a beautiful tribute. Well done, KZfaq

This was amazing. I’ve watched Swoozie since I was a kid and still look out for new vids at 22! We’re all proud of you Adande!

For like 12 years now, without question, he’s been my favorite KZfaqr

From a “disappointment” to an inspiration. Love Swoozie! Addicted to his videos and I’m so glad to hear of the background story to such an amazing creator.

As a black animation content creator swoozie was a major inspiration. This documentary really takes me back to when he first was able to give me that spark of motivation and inspiration to start animating.

All I can say is Thank you Swoozie. And I'm so proud of you

Swoozie deserves this soo much. He doesn’t just represent animators. He represents black men who want to accomplish so much in this world. Black men who want to make their parents proud. I started watching Swoozie at 15. Im 25 now so his hard work paid off. I cried watching this because I feel so connected to his story. It inspires me and others to grind and do that they dream of in this life. Anything’s possible.

I was watching swoozie growing up. Glad to see bro and hear his voice again 😢

This took me back to those early days of KZfaq of me tuning in to watch the next Swoozie story lol. So proud to see him celebrated and validated for his contribution🙏🏿❤️

yooooooooo I didn’t even realize that Swoozie was that big of deal. I just really love his channel. Dang!!! This is amazing. Thanks for highlighting him KZfaq

🇹🇹❤🇹🇹 Congratulations!!! I'm so proud of you!!!

An *Orlando LEGEND* much love the OG Swoozie 🫡💐

This is absolutely amazing, been watching his videos for so long and still always waiting for his new videos to drop

I’ve been a fan for this man for so long I was able to quote some of his story lol 😭

Wow, I am impressed. You are the man, the benchmark! Well done and keep pressing forward!

No tea no shade but swoozie is one of my favorite KZfaqrs on the platform

We need this guy animating MOVIES. God has so many blessings for this man's life 🙏

I needed that inspiration.. Thank you

Years of watching swoozie…ive never seen him so emotional…. Thank you for everything you do for us @swoozie❤️

I've been a fan of Swoozie since I was 12 and he's a big reason why I started youtube myself. Swoozie will forever be the greatest youtuber of all time

Yessss!!! I’m so with this!!! My dude!!! Well deserved flowers! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Honestly loved this 🥺❤️ I’m so happy he’s getting that recognition that he deserves 😭✊🏽 Thank you for being an inspiration to many! We love you immensely!

Wow the real story ❤❤ I love KZfaq ❤❤

Definitely deserves his flowers genuinely wouldn’t be where I am without watching his videos when I was 13,14 years old all the way until now. Sometimes the community feels distant but he’s right it’s never a competition and always just being in love with what we make. My goat🫡 congratulations on your success I hope to start being as impactful in peoples lives as you were in mine 😤

Love this!!! S/O to the living legend, sWooZie!! 🔥🔥🔥 💐💐💐

What a legend✨

13:15 All those channels eventually brought me to swoozie so that's correct. I didn't know at the time he popularized this kind of channel. I started with Domics and TheOdd1sOut or so and then KZfaq was recommending all these other similar channels and I eventually got to swoozie.

Swoozie is the poster boy of doing what you love, and loving what you do.

Swoozie came into my life on KZfaq when I was feeling lost and at my lowest and he inspired me to pick myself up and turn my negatives into positives. Swoozie's videos have gotten me so far from where I was, and it's what lead me into my career I have now. Thank you Swoozie for inspiring me to be better.

Swoozie has always been relatable. I found his channel while I was in middle school and seeing him get his flowers is so important. I thank God for him and his impact

This man single handedly shaped who I was in highschool. After stumbling upon and watching the "My first kiss" video, I fell down the rabbit. Consumed every video and wanted to emulate a life like his. One full of excitement and charisma. When I saw that they were giving you your flowers, all of those late nights of binging your videos came flooding back. I can't say it enough, thank you for being an early role model, and representing black kids who are into all aspects of art. I made music, drew art, and even starting bboying in school because of Mr. Thorne. Congrats again and please keep trucking on this ride until the wheels fall off!

Can't believe I've been following Swoozie for a dozen years now! So deserving of his success

Wow, I'm tearing up 🥺

So glad to see him get his flowers Been watching him for so long

Watching this made very emotional as well as inspired. I have been a huge fan of swoozie since I was middle school, going home everyday after school to watch his videos. Now I am college senior, still watching his videos til this day. I am so glad he is finally getting his flowers. It has been long over due. He deserves the world and so much more 🫶🏾

Super

I hope you do great Swoozie and I hope everyone who see’s this also does great in life

Beautiful documentary! Happy that Swoozie got to become very successful!

No one is like you! Thank you for the inspirstion!

Been watching swoozie for over 10 years, love hearing his story 💙

If this guy didn’t make KZfaq videos my channel wouldn’t exist

Love it youtube ! Keep ur app going ❤

Swoozie is amazing! I’m so happy to have been following him for so many years, every time a new video of his pops up I get so happy!

The legend who continues to inspire and put smiles when I need it. Thanks for everything Swoozie!

Swiozie is hands down my favorite KZfaqr, he’s chill he’s inspiring, he inspires me to try as hard as I can with everything I do.

Nah he deserves the credit fr bruh. I’m ngl Idk how long I been subbed but I can’t believe that I’m jus now finding out he made the animations himself💀💀💀

Swoozie deserves all his flowers!

THIS PUT ME INTO TEARS SWOOZIE YOUR AMAZING AND LIKE FR SO INSPIRING KREP GOING BRO YOUR AMAZING ❤

❤❤❤❤❤I love KZfaq

Love this!! So well done.

Amazing story! This guy is inspiring me to continue my KZfaq journey!

You deserve this recognition and more like it Swoozie! Your stories and animations helped me through a lot of dark times in my life. Rejections, feeling like no one understands me, the love of art but no kne to share it with, and of course relationships lol. You've earned a place in my wittle inspired heart ❤. But the sky is the limit for you. Keep rising!!!!

@Swoozie thank you. Really. As a trini American man. Thank you. I am a gamer. And you are one of my inspirations. I started recording with friends and hit a tough time in life. Thank you for this documentary. I can see this takes work. Never give up. I appreciate you brother. More life to you and much success.

A KZfaq legend indeed, please don’t stop making vids swooz

My bro introduced me to Swoozie when we were teens/preteens.... I'm 30 now. This dude is a legend

Swoozie definitely deserves all of his rewards for the outstanding content he gives us

Beautiful and inspiring story. I'm so happy I got to watch his stories in early KZfaq. It made me not feel alone to be an "atypical" Black nerd in the era when every Black person was expected to look and act a way. And even during a video dedicated to him, he shares the love with the community. I'm proud to be a fan

That's crazy I didn't know that Swoozie was the first person to do KZfaq Animation. But then again it makes sense. I remember when KZfaq was new and Swoozie was one of the first channels I subscribed too. Such as amazing journey. Thank you Swoozie for sharing all your stories and inspiring others. 💜👏

Always follow your passion. Dreams do come true.

Swoozie you have inspired my life so much. You have no idea how much I look to and respect you.

It’s been an honor being a follower since 2010

Love the vulnerability expressed in this video. This message was needed

I just love Adande, been rocking with him for the last 10 years. He is a creator that so many should look up to and take notes from. I was horrified to watch him cry, knowing that despite the success he later found in life, those core memories are still there and alive. More flowers for our unproblematic KZfaq King!

Love you, @sWooZie - thank you for all that you do and have done! 💐 Keep up the AMAZING, INSPIRATIONAL WORK!! 👏🏾

I am literally holding back so many tears at work i love this man

I felt like crying happy tears 😂
