India Boyé, daughter of Utah Youtuber and performer, Alex Boyé, won a national award for her rap about her biracial family, reported Deseret News.
India is eight years old and in the second grade. Her rap answered a question posed by the National PTA Reflections contest, which was "I Matter, Because."
India composed the rap in her bedroom while she was home during the pandemic.

Check out the words to India's rap:
"My name is I-N-D-I-A, that's me
Let me tell you 'bout my family history
My mom is white and my dad is brown
They are the best and they won't let me down
Don't mater where you are or where you're from
We are all God's children and we like to have fun
I matter, because my family loves me
I matter, because I like to dance and sing
I matter, because I get down like that
I matter, because I'm a cool wildcat."
