Just recently on "The View," there was a reunion of the cast of "That's So Raven," bringing the dynamic group back together to pull on our heartstrings and play with our emotions about a TV reunion! But here's the bigger question — why hasn't it been brought to Netflix!?

There are so many reasons "That's So Raven" should be on Netflix!

She was independent, strong, courageous and grounded. Raven Baxter's character conquered so much on the show. Raven Symone, who is now a member of "The View," has been an out and proud lesbian since 2013 and serves as a proud member of the LGBTQ community. Although her initial coming out shocked fans, she was soon met with open arms by the LGBTQ community. Similar to her real life, Baxter's character always embraced her true identity and never compromised her values. She never had a constant need for a boyfriend or a male figure, proving that she valued independence and good friends over a relationship. In regards to mean girls and bullies, she was a force to be reckoned with — she brushed mean commentary and drama right off her shoulder. She was a confident woman, she knew who she was, and what she loved. She worked hard and never gave up on her beliefs. She showed girls everywhere that hard work and good friends will help them grow successful and stay grounded.

Raven Baxter wasn't some skinny, size 2, blonde, 5-foot-7 girl you see in a lot of television shows today. She was a curvy African-American teenager, who was quirky, intelligent, outgoing and adventurous. She was never afraid to make a fool out of herself, and she didn't care about her body image, her weight or what people thought of her; she was happy in her own skin.

Of course, besides all that, there was also her comedic moments. Her catch phrases are most definitely ingrained in our memories, like "Oh snap!" or "Ya NASTY!" But no moment was greater than the "I just had a vision!" face.

No moment was better than her having her visions, and especially the crazy plans she came up with to stop the visions from coming true. But, she couldn't stop the visions from coming true without a little help from friends, Chelsea Daniels and Eddie Thomas. The trio was one of the funniest and most powerful friend dynamics I have seen on television. They always stood by each other and were honest, not only about good things, but about bad situations that went on as well.

Her family was also important to her. Her parents were embarrassing and realistic, while her brother had his mischievous moments of messing with her life. But, there were also moments where everyone would come together, share a story of the past or just teach lessons. Either way, the family did everything they could for each other, just to purely support one another.

Without at doubt, nothing beats the moments where the show got interesting — when Raven would prevent the bad visions from happening.

Sometimes, things got pretty weird, depending on who was in trouble or what was said to happen in the visions. Another wonderful aspect of the show was conquering fears of anything, and she meant anything.


Netflix should not only consider all the absolutely morally correct parts of this show, but also the humor aspect, I'M TALKING ABOUT CLASSIC DISNEY CHANNEL PEOPLE!! Whoever wrote shows like this, needs to come back before all TV turns into the same generic plots and characters, only with different names and settings. Plus, who wouldn't want to see more characters doing things like this,

Yup, that's me! — Raven Baxter

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
