A lot of people make fun of this family and especially her, but damn she sometimes says the smartest things. 

You’re allllll beautimous

I know there are problematic things in this show (particularly their use of AAVE as has been pointed out in many posts), BUT there is A LOT that this family gets right- particularly June.

.

Aside from the fact that June takes every check from the show and puts it into trusts for the girl’s schooling that she and Sugar Bear can’t touch, that it’s obvious the pageant stuff is done because Alanna wants to, and that they would never force her to continue if she changed her mind, that they obviously support all of their kids in being completely themselves, pursuing whatever makes them happy, and embracing them even when they make mistakes-  Aside from all that:

.

Watching this show, it’s the first time on TV (reality, or otherwise) that I’ve seen the whole… family/unconditional support thing done RIGHT.  This is a family that is THERE for their kids.  That supports them unconditionally.  There is a lot of body talk on their show- but it is always framed in acceptance and love and encouragement.  

.

Seeing that is more than amazing, it’s revolutionary.  And you will never convince me otherwise.
