I don‘t think people do not appreciate Little Mix a lot. 

Jesy and now Leigh-Anne will change/changed lives with their Documentaries. Whether it is fatshaming/ED Awareness/Mental Health Awareness or now with Leigh-Anne - racism and colorism. People will be more informed, knowledgable, will know they‘re not alone and overall Leigh-Anne will be able to speak her truth. I think it takes lots of guts to speak about these topics that are often considered ‚taboo‘ for mainstream media or ‚don‘t say anything, it may cost your career‘ - but she‘s doing so much for society, her fans and people like her by doing this.

So true, they speak about so many different issues!

Love that you said that! Also Jade talking about her anorexia and the racism she faced at school where she'd be bullied and forced to the ground and people would draw 'bindis' on her head. To Perrie's anxiety troubles where she couldn't even leave the house.

All four girls are amazing and I love that they are using their platform for important issues

I love little mix but I’m sick of Leigh Anne blaming things on racism that were clearly nothing to do with it , like not being on sexiest in the world lists because she’s black? I’m sure Beyoncé was like 8 recently and Rihanna 3.  I’m sick of POC always jumping on the everything is racist bandwagon because it’s a load of bullshit most of the time

Not trying to argue but I think this comment is awful.

From your display pic, you’re clearly not a POC and cannot relate to what Leigh-Anne and other POC have faced. To say this is ‘bullshit’ is ridiculous and completely insensitive.

You sound like the people Leigh-Anne is trying to teach, step into her shoes, listen to her experiences. She has every right to talk about it and MANY other POC have experienced similar things to her. She is brave for speaking up for this and spreading awareness on her massive platform.
