The support is excellent but many users want others to remember how they played in Fantasia’s face after she announced she wanted a sisterhood bond in her life.
Not too much on Fantasia. Sis has been looking for a sisterhood. Years back she said she was interested in DST and was welcomed with mad bullying online. Now fast forward she did more research and found a home. Folks tweeting don’t forget , but let’s not forget

And there can never be a high moment without haters joining the mix; Many made fun of Fantasia for joining late in her adulthood as opposed to in college.
