Raven-Symoné Reacts to Her Most Iconic Roles and Possible 'Cheetah Girls' Project

Raven-Symoné reacts to her most iconic roles throughout the years and talks possible 'Cheetah Girls' reunion.

[@sidnisera]

“I was the *youngest,* black female to have a show named after her” AN ICON. And the show is STILL funny to this day.

She is the Beyoncé of Disney and always made her mark in the acting industry. She’s a legend overall 👏🏽

[@user-dv3kq3rm4h]

When both her and Beyonce were younger, they kind of favoured to me- like sisters or cousins. I noticed it in some of those preteen shots of Raven, she looked like Beyonce in the early Destiny's Child days.

Too bad they abused her

[@andydv27]

Raven will always be a legend. That's So Raven was the first show I saw her in and just loved it. That's So Raven is still a show that I watch to this day. The Cheetah Girls is something that all of us Disney fans still love!! The movies were always the best!! The music of these films were just incredible. It would be so fun to see where The Cheetah Girls would be at right now and what they did with their lives.

[@orangeradishneo]

What I loved about raven as a character in that’s so raven, was that she was a well rounded person who wasn’t just her surface level appearances. At the time raven was considered “fat” by society’s standards, but it wasn’t her main storyline. She had maybe 1 episode focusing on her weight. She got the hot guy, she had good friends, and was a great personality. She was the only main character as a plus size AND/OR black woman in the mid 2000s children’s show that I know of that didn’t reinforce stereotypes and even educated people on topics like racism, without it being too in your face.

[@TyrellGray-qq9ch]

Gotta give Raven her credit she's been doing this for 35 years .

[@trindellbrown]

She is multi talented and soo beautiful til this day. Im glad I grew up with That’s so Raven it was the best show on Disney channel. Love Raven!

I recently lost my mom and her shows have made me able to smile and laugh again when it seems impossible. She needs to know how important she is and how much her presence changed the lives for the better of so many people!

raven will always be an icon , I grew up watching thats so raven . I was a kid (7-8 yrs old) and loved every episode . occasionally I will look up old episodes on KZbin and still laugh , it was just so damned funny .I still listen to the cheetah girls and other disney bops now and then because they were so good. Raven and many others are part of my childhood and I'm glad they got the chance to act and loved it. I know disney is appealing to a newer generation but I feel like they should bring back that comedy like they had then in the early 2000s, im 23 now and still think about thats so raven and Hannah Montana , as well as other shows because they were again just so damned funny.

Raven was always a role model for me growing up. I literally saw a concert of hers at six flags of all places and the third cheetah girls had just came out and the Make-A-Wish foundation had kids come on stage and ask her questions and one of them was about why she wasn’t in the third movie which gagged me, because I was dying to know what was the tea, and even then she was still cordial and friendly regarding her absence in the third movie. The cheetah girls two will still always be my favorite. I need to go to Barcelona.
