Semaj is only two years old. His mom, Aaliyah Hardin, is 27 years old. Semaj has an older brother named Jamichael, who is five. Both of Aaliyah’s sons have sickle cell disease. Jamichael just graduated from Pre-K with three academic achievement awards. These two young boys are brilliant. Semaj was working with his mom, learning about money, and it’s gone viral. Remember, he is only two. Pay no attention to the fact that the toddler answers with the confidence of a grumpy old man.

Aaliyah has received some online trolling about her videos with Semaj. She assures her fans that the young boy smiles and plays, but not while he is learning. At two years old, he is more advanced than many children entering Kindergarten.
If you’re in the mood to troll, please go elsewhere. We celebrate Aaliyah as a SuperMom. Her proactive approach to parenting gives her sons an extra tool to succeed in life. These two boys will have enough hurdles to face as they grow up with sickle cell disease. Although not as limiting as before, the disease stacks the deck against Jamichael and Semaj. Jamichael is reading, and Semaj probably won’t be far behind.
While we poke fun at this amazing toddler for answering in a matter-of-fact old man style, let’s also acknowledge his smartness. Parents everywhere are raising children who develop at different rates. Aaliyah happens to be raising two super achievers. Semaj’s curt, matter-of-fact tone might make him a brilliant debater.
Please join us in wishing these two brave and intelligent young boys and their mom all the best of success. Jamichael and Semaj may grow up to change the world and make it better for all of us.
Please share.
