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

[@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.

[@Thornton019hockey]

And it was the disney era of discussing real topics in a real way for kids. Nothing will beat that era. The humor and seriousness was elite

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.

[@PopCultureKing2009]

Right Raven has not changed and she’s not blueface and a clone not the real Raven like Orlando brown says she still has that personality and funny side to her that we have always seen

I never realized the comparison to That's So Raven to I Love Lucy but it's so true. That's So Raven is and will continue to age well as one of the most legendary sitcoms of our generation. We love you Raven ♥

[@ChanelStar1]

*Raven has always been THAT GIRL!*

[@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.

[@pressheart64]

I got goosebumps when she sang a little bit of Strut lol So nostalgic.

[@JulyMoon82]

She has such a good voice.

[@jamalsanford0729]

Grew up watching The Cheetah Girls 1-3, That's So Raven, Zenon 21 Century Girl, College Road Trips, Raven's Home, TPD 2. Even her guest appearance on Disney Channel shows/movie. Her solo music especially Disney Channel era. Love her, singing/music/ acting. Adrienne and Raven are my favorite Cheetah Girls.

I love Raven! I am 31 and still watch That's So Raven. I grew up watching I Love Lucy with my grandma and loved Raven's humor and character. I don't care about any celebrities but I had to watch this because she actually seems like the coolest person. She has helped me find comfort in the darkest moments of my life. 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!
