    she didn’t lie when she said she was apart of the disney channel years with the best theme songs
  • @xoxo7132
    She was the first black girl on Disney to have her own show and the longest running disney character. Such an Iconic queen. ❤
  • To be feeding her family since she was 3 is crazy. This lady literally is iconic & needs to stop being slept on
  • @clarissaguzz
    “No offense, Ellen? That didn’t go so well for her” CRACKING UP, she’s not wrong
  • @QueenZsWorld
    she says she wasn't the lead in Cheetah Girls but we all know she carried. all know.
  • @jaylag0221
    Love how she goes “I love you adrienne” several times to note another one of the positive things cheetahs girls did for her. And doesn’t mention anyone else😂😭
  • @Lolaharajuku0
    She didn’t lie when she said she was apart of the Disney era with the best theme songs. I’ve watched a couple recent Disney shows and they’re missing the spark the older shows had.
  • @bryanzoom97
    I really do hope that she someday receives a lifetime achievement award or any form of recognition for all the things she was able to accomplish at such an early age she is truly a global icon.
  • @honeyqueen.
    She needs to host snl. Her physical comedy is everything.
  • @dakotac180
    She raised us. She is the blueprint. She could be on Broadway or be on SNL at least, like to see her come back.
  • I respect how candid she was about feeling envious. To be a role model is already tough, but to tack your queerness onto it when you never felt safe to, is a whole other journey.
  • I love the way she speaks, hope that doesn't sound weird. Like I love the way she articulates her words, how she not only encompasses verbal humor but also physical humor as well. This was a really good interview
  • This woman is literally living black history. I love her and always will. She's my inspiration ❤
  • No matter how you feel about her this is a living legend
  • She was speaking between the lines for real. This woman is still very much traumatized by her experiences in hollyweird.
  • The new Disney will NEVER compare to the Disney I grew up with and I’m now 28. I miss the old Disney 😢
  • @basktbalG
    She is so goofy, and inspirational. I get why I was obsessed with her as a kid 😊
  • @playmamii
    Her skin is glowing , she’s full of energy and seems really happy, and healthy! She’s doing amazing ❤
  • @ownfan12
    How could you not love this woman! Such a class act, openly vulnerable, and naturally hilarious. Bummed we didn’t get Nebula, Paprika, or more TCG tea 😂 they always skimp on that
  • @soupafleye
    aww proud of her. and yes she’s only 36! she’s accomplished so much. happy she’s in a good place. truly a role model and a MOMENT in the best era of disney ever. i miss those times 🥲
