My two daughters love her show - OK, OK, I like it too.

I also think that Raven being in the limelight is positive, but remember, we historically have less pressure to be thin than the dominant culture. We've always had room for the Halle Berrys and Jada Pinketts as well as the Mo'Niques and Queen Latifahs.
By contrast, white full-figured celebrities such as Roseanne and Kirstie Alley take a ton of s*** for being bigger.
