When I was a little girl I witnessed the effects of bullying first hand on a daily basis. My mother was obese and my sister was different. People would call her fat and snicker. I would hold her hand tighter and tell her how beautiful she was...and she was. To me she was the most
beautiful woman ever. Her heart was beyond generous, loving, empathetic, welcoming. She always supported and loved me. She was my biggest fan. She taught me so much and I miss her every day. I was doing an episode of #Rugrats. The babies were in a car dealership. As often 
happened on the show, the babies were whisked away into an imaginary world. It was an under the sea adventure and the van the babies were in on the dealership floor became a submarine. As folks passed they became sea life. A heavyset woman walked by & the line was, “look at the
whale”! I asked if the creative team would change the character & make it a muscle man to help combat overweight prejudice. Without hesitation they changed it. My sister was attacked physically and verbally constantly. It broke my heart to see her cry. I was VERY protective &
regularly took on her tormentors. She is a sweet trusting soul who is there for me at any hour. Love you @MarlaCharendoff. One of the benefits of my particular career and my social media presence has been the ability to reach out to sweet souls who’ve been bullied all over the
world. I LOVE helping people. I love empowering people, letting them know they matter. I love the friendships I build. Like @cOWOkie_pone. Emma was in a VERY dark place when her sister reached out for help. Bullies tormented her relentlessly & she lost her will to live. My fans
rallied for her, raised money for her & her family to come meet me & thousands of pony fans @ #Bronycon. She sat with me all weekend & signed autographs and received love from hot army dudes who used to be bullied. We are sisters now & she’s there for me as much as I am for her.
We have promised to never let each other get too dark or give up hope. We pinky promised...if you haven’t seen her art I encourage to gaze upon its wonderment. She created an art piece with our #OC’s embracing & a pinky promise. I sell it at cons & give 100% to various charities.
Today I felt compelled to do this thread because last night we lost a beautiful soul. #SweetSophia. She and her family endured the cruelest bullying I have ever witnessed. My dear friend @Nataliew1020 is bullied EVERY DAY by Internet cowards. Imagine caring every day for your
sick child. Countless surgeries, devoting your life to giving hers the fullest it could be knowing all her risks and challenges. The pics of Natalie’s children by Sophia’s side warmed my heart every day.
On top of her own struggles, @Nataliew1020 is a hero activist who spends a lot of her time advocating for #healthcare, #DisabilityRights & combating #bullies.Despicable, incomprehensible, the cruelty and judgement she & her family faced. LOOK AT THEIR FACES AND SEE ONLY PURE LOVE

I know with my followers I’m preaching in funny voices to the choir...but if by chance you see this & you’ve engaged in cyber bullying, targeted attacks, take a moment & think of the hearts you could be breaking. Find new empathy, you never know someone’s struggles. You can turn
karma around in an instant, one choice to make someone feel good, important, happy. I love you @Nataliew1020. I’m so very sorry for your family’s unspeakable pain. If you feel inspired, donate even a dollar to help others in similar shoes. sophias-voice.com rest sweet angel
