[@kibby1874]

This came from a real place! When she said before I leave, I thought she was about to start thanking a bunch of people, but she didn’t not only prove me wrong but she gave ALL the GLORY to God! Now that’s how you do a speech! Some of those celebrities are afraid to mention God’s name and give him the glory, but you gotta be courageous! Fantasia! I pray God uses you in way unimaginable, let your light never be darken and may your cup runneth over! Stay safe and guarded in these Hollywood streets. Love you sis ❤

I’m so glad she was honored with this award, knowing all she’s been through in her life, personally & professionally, I think receiving this recognition, especially when she wasn’t sure if she could play that role again, has to make the win even more special. Her speech was truly genuine and just shows what a humble, gracious soul she has. “To God Be The Glory” ❤️
