*You thought she was happy to get that job, wait til you see viral sensation Kallayah Jones’ reaction to meeting Ellen DeGeneres on Monday’s episode (Oct. 12).
The talk show host welcomed Jones and her new boss Dakara Spence, who saw security camera footage of Kallayah celebrating in the parking lot after acing her interview and posted the joyful moment online. It’s now been viewed over 20 million times.
Once Jones and Spence were able to calm down from the reality of being on “Ellen,” the two talked about their individual stories and the importance of not giving up. Jones said that she was homeless for two years and “going through a hard time” prior to the interview. She said, “I didn’t have any clothes,” and had to do the interview in a scarf and slippers. “And I was hoping and praying that she did not turn me away,” Kallayah said, “because I needed this job. I needed it.”
Of course, Ellen and her friends at Shutterfly gave Kallayah and Dakara some hefty checks to assist their dreams of going back to school.
