So, a video of 21-year-old Kayallah Jones has hit the internet and has been making headlines and going viral on the internet. In it, she’s seen celebrating her employment in a parking lot just outside The Spot, a sports bar and restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia that she just got employed at.

According to CBS, Jones had been homeless for two years and, as if looking for a job wasn’t hard already, the pandemic has made it even harder as Jones has lost several jobs because of it.

The owner of the restaurant, Dakara Spence, explained that she hired Jones because she had great energy and that she felt her positivity as soon as she walked in. She is now working there as a server.

After seeing her dance in the parking lot, Spence called Jones: “I said I’m going to hire you and I’ve seen your happy dance so you can continue dancing. She was just screaming through the phone and it was just a beautiful moment for me.”

It got over 1.2M views on Instagram alone, with another 1.5M on TikTok and Twitter

Spence also posted a video of the CCTV footage of Jones doing the happy dance. In the dance, she raises her hands and feet and goes flailing side-to-side. At first, Jones is seen taking a look around to see if nobody’s watching, then goes nuts with the dance, and then continues walking away nonchalantly like nothing happened.

Given the hardship and struggles that Jones was going through, landing this job was truly an ecstatic experience that led to the now-viral dance. She explained that she felt excited and somewhat overwhelmed by how happy this positive change in her life was.
