  1. Just wanna share my love for this woman bc I know it's a story millions of black girls relate to. I remember being an insecure 15 year old when Fantasia was on AI. She was a beacon of hope. Her bravery, her beauty —when she won, I won, WE won. I'm happy for her as if she's my fam. People can downplay it but Fantasia was taunted by the media yet she kept on keeping on. A queen 👑
