The young internet sensation started dressing up and emulating African celebrities last year, with her mother sharing them on social media.
According to her mother, the daughter started doing the videos last year and the response was so overwhelming so they decided to do it again this year.
Rosie kicked off this month emulating the political icon Stacey Abrams who was one of the key persons who helped President Joe Biden clinch black votes in the state of Georgia.
