I could not care less about the criticism regarding this girl.. I love her!! She is spunky, talkative and quirky! Some people may be annoyed by that and think she is extra but I find her to be very charming. She's also gorgeous and a powerful dancer. She may have struggled last year but I admire her perseverance and from the few performances they were able to have before Covid, she truly appeared to be doing a great job on the team. So glad to hear that she made the squad again!

[@courtneyneal1385]

Same! I love Kat! She’s one of my favorites! I feel like I could totally be friends with her lol.

She's fun to watch.

[@candicew.1096]

7:57 - "I would rather be homeless with my cat then have to give my cat away." Character. So many people treat animals as disposable. When you make a commitment you make a commitment. I already liked her. I like her even more.

[@multifandomqueen]

Right?? I was like ME TOO. I would NEVER give my kitty away. 🥺

[@aking4766]

Yassss! This so much...you can watch this on Pluto (great background study noise oddly enough 🤔) and during a commercial I clicked down to an old episode of "true life" where a young couple were having their amazing young dog PUT DOWN because they couldn't afford it...they had been in the situation since getting the dog and still got it... shows how selfish and irresponsible some people are seeing animals as disposable...there is nothing I wouldn't do to keep my pups happy and healthy even if it meant letting someone else "have" them if I knew they had the resources, etc. while I only get to visit, etc.

[@melissawhite5116]

Lol! She had me at this statement

[@beyourself2444]

That's because you've never been in the situation to have to make that desperate choice. Her situation wasn't that bad if she had that choice to make. I knew people who had to choose between their animals or kids, so obviously, the animals had to go...

[@candicew.1096]

@@beyourself2444 I do work in underserved communities and have been desperate (homeless) before. Just because someone is financially desperate doesn't mean they think of animals as disposable. Just like with adoption, they realize there are better homes for them and give them an opportunity to be in a better place. That is not always the case. Many not desperate people treat animals as disposable. I had a neighbor who would buy dogs as puppies and then as soon as they were adults, give them to a shelter. She saw animals as accessories. I knew another woman who gave away her cat because the luxury condo in ATL didn't accept pets. We are talking about different groups of people.

[@sumared]

Kat has such a genuine, beautiful soul. She’s absolutely stunning, extremely talented, and incredibly personable. She truly epitomizes Black Girl Magic ✨

When I did a tour of the cowboys stadium a while ago, I got to meet Kat, and I’ll say, she is so kind. She is extremely talented and i love that:)

[@christinemohr8788]

I'm so jealous!!! How long did y'all talk for?

[@sunshinerainbows4627]

Like how Kat remains upbeat and positive through her mistakes and how she keeps the office discussions light and flowing with straight talk about being more of a practice makes perfect person than a one time perfect person. She's more real and relatable.

[@therach1]

I wasn't sure about Kat at first, but she sold me with her confidence. She told herself and everyone that she would make the team and never gave herself another option. That kind of manifestation is magical. And talk about never giving up! Anything worth having is worth working your ass off for, and she showed that.

[@tarawalsh-arpaia3928]

That IS manifestation. Give yourself no other option. Just see yourself from A to B.

[@morganhairston6548]

@@djjones7039 Honey, there is NOTHING wrong with her ethnicity being mentioned. Honestly, you sound very bothered by her being a proud, strong BLACK woman being said. Do white women share in her experience of getting called the N word while playing tennis? I think not. (While you're busy complaining, you may to watch her clip again and actually listen to her experiences as a black woman that she already mentioned.) You don't share in black representation, whether positive, negative or how little we have. Not you're place to correct black people for lifting her up at all. Stop being insecure and trying to include all women in a statement to uplift women of color. If you don't share in the lack of positive representation black women have, then don't try to include yourself in our uplifting one another. Stay in your lane, honey...or better yet if you can't handle black girl magic, stay bothered. Not our problem.

When Kelly brought her in and she started to cry because her mom didn’t know she was homeless broke my heart. She struggled and she completed 4 years and even became group leader. Way to go Kat!
