Raven Symoné

We all know her as the famous actress who played Raven in "That so Raven", confident and passionate were just a few words you might use to describe her character (with a dash of attitude, of course) but whats even more interesting is the her true life seems to run parallel.

Recently Symoné spoke out about Miley Cyrus, agreeing with her statement that no one deserves to labeled by their "sexuality" and that everyone should be treated as equals. For me it's not what she said that caught my attention though, it's how she said it. You know how you can tell how you can feel how confident and strong willed someone is by their tone or like their posture? Now don't make fun of me here, but it's kind of like Beyonce, her poise and strong willed attitude inspires people everyday, it's kind of like that. We all strive to be people like Symoné or Beyonce, and want to feel powerful and not discouraged by our words, and Symoné clearly was not. 

Having previously been interrogated by the people of the internet, Symoné not only backed Cyrus up, but made a strong statement about how she believes people should be viewed, and how wrong others are for seeing people of different sexuality as different, constantly categorizing them. Now, ask yourself this : If you got asked by a salesman to buy into their product which one would you choose, the one with off the fence comments and holes here and there about their stories, or the ones that simply come out, state the facts, and make clear their ideas? My guess would be you would choose option two, in that case, agreed. Symoné was most definitely option number two compared to all of the other option ones being presented all over the internet. You would be surprised how much impact someone would have on altering your ideas of right and wrong based simply on their attitude and poise they bring to the table on the subject.
