I love her. She has no game, no malicious intent, doesn't try to stab other queens in the back and doesn't step on others to get to the top. She doesn't put out the candles of others to make her's shine brighter. She's an unconscious comedienne and very talented dancer too.

She really is a good example and inspiration for her students at the dance studio. She had a few confrontations with some of the queens, but she always stayed the bigger person, while those other queens embarrassed themselves. She has Jade Jolie to thank for her iconic « back rolls » moment tho. 😆

Throughout the years, I learned to admire her as a performer, to respect her as a human and to love her as the mother I never had. There is no greater feeling for a fan than seeing one of your biggest inspirations in life ascend to new heights and achieving their goals. Love you lots and lots, Ms. Edwards, and I hope someday I can be as inspiring to someone else as you were to me
