The identity of the teen has been revealed and she is 14-year-old Nya Sigin. A GoFundMe account has been set up for her college fund and has raised $113,755.

Activist Shaun King reposted the troubling video on his Instagram page.

KSTP spoke to the 14-year-old girl about how she felt after viewing the video.

“When I first saw the video, I hadn’t really processed everything that was going on,’ she said. ‘I was hearing the words but yesterday I was in my counselor’s office, and I was really talking about it to them, and that’s when it all really hit me and how personal it was to me. That was just really hard because I just had this wave of emotions.”

Sigin also shared that she appreciates the support of friends and family.

“It’s just the most, like, immense feeling of the love from everybody that showed their support for me and my family,’ she said. ‘It’s just it’s honestly like an unexplainable feeling. I couldn’t even express how thankful I am for everybody.”
