    Persia White is really amazing! hide show

    Persia White is a really original and talented actress. Most known for her role in Girlfriends, she has been on other shows, one in particular I remember was Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction where she played Molly. I love how she is not afraid to be herself and she is a real trendsetter. I love how she is a vegan and animal & human rights activist. She also is a very good singer, with her band XEO3. I love how as a black women, she brings the real black women to the public's eyes, not some stereotypical one, but real ones, more are out there and need to be seen. I hope that she can get more roles in the future both movie and TV, and hope she stays the amazing person she is and stays active for what is right.

    Can't be described by conventional means hide show

    Because obviously she's not a conventional person. As Lynn on Girlfriends, we see a person with a lot of talent and interests, but not a lot of drive. Obviously Persia is not like that in real life, at least having no drive. I appreciate her influence on television, allowing us to see black women in a whole other light.

    Persia is definitely an show stopper. hide show

    I wish to see more of P. White when I tune into girlfriends.
    No offense to the other characters but she seem to outshine the rest of the crew, and she has stolen my heart, mind, and soul. This is truly impossible to do considering I'm not impressed with celebrities and I was never a big fan of this particular show. As long as P. White remain on the show and stay single I'll keeping watching every week.

    I enjoy her alot. I like her quit comebacks and comments that make you think "did she really just say that". hide show

    I think she has terrific talent but has been vastly underused of late. She has comedic talent that is uncommon and a bit out of the norm but refreshing non the less.
    I enjoy her devotion to Joan and the rest of her friends.
    It would be great to see her expand as a writer and musician I'd prefer a writer by her character becuase she did so much good and found so much confidence in it.
    I believe she will continue to go far in the business of entertainment.
