    Raven Symone WAS the Disney Channel at one point. She dominated the early 2000s. However Disney chose what she said, how she dressed, and basically her whole personality. Her escape from the conglomeration was not perfect, but she did it.

And it’s very easy for a parent to expose their own children these days with both TikTok and RUclips being a thing. I couldn’t bring myself to put that kind of stress on my child.

    Honestly, with how chill Raven has been compared to other Disney child stars is insane, especially with how overworked she was. What few controversies she has are pretty minor and she has been a massive influence on kids everywhere. I love how she never went overboard or did something obscene just to prove to everyone that she was different than her Disney identity. She was just herself and that worked out great

      I would say too that Zendaya had more leverage to do a Disney Sitcom than Raven did in her time (and this entire video gives context to that). KC Undercover was kind of a like a love Letter to That's So Raven (since Raven guest starred as a form of homage) and what it represented through Raven & the work it did for the network and for culture in its own right. I also feel like Raven's Home is a nudge back to what Zendaya did fighting for KC Undercover. Raven had the means to continue on the network like Zenday did, but on her own terms in a much better, much Free-er place.
      The connection the two of them have is very inspiring when you think about it. They essentially have helped each other.

    One underrated thing I loved about Raven and especially the show which I consider to be the greatest Disney sitcom making Raven the Queen of Disney, is that as a black kid I got to see myself on screen and in the lead roles. Though the show had to be family friendly they didn’t tone down her “blackness”. Her catchphrases like “Oh snap”, “I’ll holla” she even told a teacher he was “trippin’” lol and seeing Eddie and Devon dap each other up, etc those were all things we said and did as black kids growing up so it was nice to see it on mainstream tv too.

    disney had a rollout system with their stars. they produced them everywhere and shoved them down our throats until they were culturally accepted. then they’d offer little to none support to the aging stars and let them go. zac and cody are great examples. disney gave them their show, ran it out, let them go, and then they had to find their own way to succeed. they wouldn’t do anything with the adult actors because the kids just wouldn’t be interested anymore.

They even had the gall to mock the whole situation in the recent Rescue Rangers movie with the whole Peter Pan storyline which closely mirrors that of his actor, Bobby Driscoll. He died young, secluded from family and alone.

    To defend the black outs Raven had during performing on The Cosby Show, it makes sense for a child actor bc they the anxiety mixed with limited memory capacity for a small child could lead to memory loss. It happens to me a lot when performing music live but its more of a brown out if you will, remembering some of the set and not remembering other parts. There's just so much to accomplish while performing in any capacity that the last thing your brain will do is remember the performance 100% through.

    (random, but since you popped up the picture of amanda bynes, i think it would be dope if you ever to do a deep dive on her. amanda is actually a prime example of society failing someone. during the whole time, amanda consistently asked for help or alluded to needing help but it was weaved into sporadic behaviour and so people opted to make fun of it and ignore it, think britney, until it came out that she was mentally ill. i'm pretty sure amanda is a case of society pushing someone so far into their shell that i don't think we'll ever really get see amanda the way we she previously let us see her. and that's awfully sad.)

    This is an awesome documentary about her life! The fact that Raven developed DID from her lifestyle as a serious actress/businesswoman since a child is not a shock. She had to take on characters and other lives since a developmental stage of her life and didn’t get to control herself.
    Orlando Brown is also a child actor who had to do the same in his own way. Combined with the seedy industry and any personal trauma he developed from it, it’s very sad that people didn’t view him similarly to her as a reflection of what the industry does to people. While it’s great that Raven overcame her struggles, success OR non-success does not change the fact that someone is traumatized. Both Actors show both sides of the coin concerning the industry, and they have a very naturally charismatic talent that you see when you watch That’s So Raven. They play off of each other so well.
    I wish people would use them individually (and several other child actors) as a beacon for change for this whole Child Star Pipeline. Very capable young people are being damaged for their talents.

It’s unfortunate that she’s made multiple controversial comments, but it didn’t deter me from being a fan because she seems like she means well. I’ve tuned into the first and second season of Raven’s Home, and it was pretty decent. I recently saw that T’Keyah Crystal Keymah, who played her mom, will be returning for a cameo on Raven’s Home, so I’ve been binging this season and I like it.

    I've always had a lot of respect for raven she keeps it real and doesn't let people's opinions of her get to her.

    The reason why The Cheetah Girls were able to tour without Raven was because Kiely Williams and Adrienne Houghton were in the girl group 3LW. So most of the fans were fans of those two girls from previous group, they were the visuals, Raven was not the focal point.

      That isn't true, Sabrina Bryan wasn't apart of 3lw either, plus Raven was way more famous than all 3 combined. She was to busy on her solo music and her show. She eventually left the group because of catfights especially with Kiely Williams

      It wasn’t a combative competition on popularity. She left cause someone in the group was being very catty at the time.

    I absolutely adore how you cover these topics! Especially the lack of shying away on reporting on things as they happened, with context and explaining why something may have been perceived a certain way. No tip toeing. *Amazing*

    When you did that poll about whether you should do more videos on people outside of the music industry I originally said no. I’d like to change my vote. These videos are fantastic

    Raven has no filter and she’s real about how she feels about certain topics. Gotta respect it!

    I'm not necessarily a fan of Raven, but I can appreciate that she didn't get on drugs, go to prison or release a sex tape. Everyone says the wrong thing from time to time, so I'll give her a pass. I wish her happiness and success 😊

    Raven is a comedic LEGEND who doesn't get her flowers the way she should. Sounds a bit dramatic but I am who I am today in terms of personality, because of Raven. LOVEEEEEE her!!! 🫶🏼🖤

    You should really do a video on your writing process & story concepts. I’m really interested in your whole creative concepts behind the scenes. Great work!
