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 ❤
