      The way Black women genuinely and fullheartedly love, support, uplift, compliment, bolster, build up, protect and give praise to Black women, I have never seen any other group do this... not white women to other white women, Asian men towards Asian men, Hispanic women to Hispanic women etc etc etc. it’s really something extraordinary to see post after post after post of Black women coming out of everywhere to express genuine support, love and encouragement to sister Black women. You can hear it walking down the street with a Black woman calling out “that dress looks good on you, your hair looks fantastic.” It’s really something to behold. Never stop doing this. Peace 🕊

    My heart is so full from watching this interview. I am in awe of the woman that Mrs.Taylor has become. I remember auditioning for American Idol with her friends, who went on to become her background singers in Orlando. That was also the same year that Fantasia won, and that prize could not have gone to a better person.

    I love Fantasia so much because I have watched her growth and revolution. She was always beautiful but she radiates beauty and I think that happens from the inside out. She’s a grown woman and knows/loves herself and anyone looking can see it in her walk, her smile, her dress, the experience (her performances and personality), that she is. I pray the best for her. I’m so glad she found someone that loves all of her, too. It’s special to find your Boaz…that man that can bless your in and out and your head to toe. Sorry y’all, Fantasia just makes me smile. Sis, keep shining💖🙏🏽🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I saw the original Color Purple when I was younger. Seeing this #TheColorPurple in my eyes as an adult that has gone through some of the same things, made me thank God for allowing me to see me as well. I have changed my mindset and have started my own clothing line to thank God for all he has done to get me through my rough times. #ImStillHere and there's nothing the devil can do about it, because I serve a God that is bigger than him. #ThankYouJesus #ThankYouFatherGod #Humble

When I first saw Fantasia on American Idol. I cried every episode with tears of joy. I felt as though she won for me and all those other single mothers who struggling as artists. I dreamed to one day, attend one of her concerts, but knowing that someone of color who has made our dream come true through her world of accomplishments. I love you more than ever! Blessings!
