I think it's common knowledge that Gabourey Sidibe rocks. First because she's one of four African-American women to be nominated for best actress in the last decade and a half, but also because she doesn't fit the Hollywood stereotype and she doesn't care.
I posted this quote of hers on pinterest the other day:
She also recently got a lot of flack for her appearance at the Golden Globes, but she handled her critics with class and sass.
Yesterday she tweeted: "To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night. #JK"
I hate that Hollywood bullies people that don't fit into their stereotypes, but I love that she doesn't let it get to her. I think a lot of us women let Hollywood stereotypes boss us around, but I'm going to try to follow Gabourey's example and practice being comfortable in my own skin.
I am not familiar with her (I know, I need to get with the times...haha!) but she sounds really great! I need to follow that example as well. :) Thanks for the post!
