"Without failure, I wouldn't be here today... I don't run from it. I don't hide from it. Everything that I went through was necessary.” Fantasia was amazing and inspiring. Thank you so much! And congrats to her for earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! We talk more about it backstage at the 2024 ForbesBLK Summit here: https://lnkd.in/ef4taiWW

I really enjoyed being a part of the virtual audience. Fantasia blessed my whole soul!

You know you’re growing when you can look back on the failures and say it was for my good. It’s a shift in perspective.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

What an inspiration! It was incredible to be in the room. Had a chance to meet her in person. So glad ForbesBLK invited Fantasia to share a portion of her story and insight with us. 👏👏👏

Absolutely I love when doors close and when dealing with biased hiring managers. You did me a favor by NOT choosing me. I am still blessed despite of some doors being locked. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Many of times I’ve sat through moments and sang along with her rendition of “Necessary” and it held me down and carried me through. In my big age, I can attest to how “failure” positioned me for infallibility. #SpeakOnIt
