By Rex Sposier

Who is Gabourey Sidibe?

In a nutshell Sidibe is an award-winning actress on the silver screen. Yet, to the black community she is an inspiration and a symbol of strength for those with no hope.

What is Sidibe's nationality?

Her mother, Alice Tan Ridley, is a former special education teacher who gave up her career and became a street performer/singer, while her father, Ibnou Sidibe, is a cab driver. Her mother is African-American and her father is Senegalese.

With that said, it's safe to say the award-winning actress is basically African-American. 
Still, her own personal life stands as a biblical testimony for today's lifestyle. 

How did Gabourey lose 150 pounds?

Gabourey Sidibe revealed she underwent weight loss surgeryOpens a New Window. last year — and today, the 35-year-old actress is looking (and feeling) better than ever. 

What's the purpose for her weight loss?

“I just didn’t want to worry,” she said. “I truly didn’t want to worry about all the effects that go along with diabetes. I genuinely

would worry all the time about losing my toes… The surgery wasn’t the easy way out. I wasn’t cheating by getting it done. I wouldn’t have been able to lose as much as I’ve lost without it.”

In my own words.
