5. Gabourey Sidibe

It is safe to say that Gabourey Sidibe hasn’t had the easiest of ways to fame. According to herself, at times it seemed that everyone was against her – from members of her own family to her school classmates to the worst of them all, the internet commenters.

Luckily for all of us, she never let the commenters get to her and she actually used their nasty remarks to build herself up and to become the star that she has become with her roles in Precious, The Big C, American Horror Story and most currently Empire.

Her speech at Ms. Foundation gala in 2014 was one of the funniest and most poignant speeches in the history of body positivity, a speech in which she told everyone how the naysayers gave her strength and how a woman like her can be confident.
