Drew Sidora: Is That Girl — And Don’t You Ever Forget It!

Shamea Morton was not happy about Drew Sidora calling her Porsha Williams lapdog. Morton clapped back on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta claiming Drew was forgettable. We thought we would remind the cast that Drew has more accomplishments than many of her cast mates.

Drew Sidora has consistently shown that she’s more than a face on screen. She’s a performer, creator, philanthropist, and mom who tackles each role—on stage, in front of the camera, and behind the scenes—with purpose and passion. From early acting milestones to charting a music career, to lifting others through her foundation, Drew proves: she’s not waiting for the spotlight—she is the spotlight. Don’t you ever forget it.
