    I had a VERY small part in Glee in the Ep: The Sue Sylvester Shuffle & I can attest to Naya's kindness, professionalism & talent. As a fellow Latinx artist, I was most excited & nervous to meet her because she was my favorite character on the show. She had a huge performance in that ep with "Heads Will Roll" & it was a privilege to see her perform it live over & over. It's a memory I will cherish & never forget. I ran into her a few years later & she remembered me. She was so humble. The mark she left in the industry is monumental and will last forever.

      Diana Sophie Conti she was intentionally a misrepresentation! If you noticed in her first episode she comments on how she is “self diagnosed” Aspergers, and then proceeds to use it as an excuse to say whatever she wants. It’s a parody on people who suck and use things like Aspergers to excuse their behaviour when that’s not what it is at all.

I was so terrified of telling my parents and I've never seen a lesbian latina on TV, I will forever be grateful for what Naya portrayed, not only did she give me strength to come out, she also gave me hope that eventually things could get better. Currently, at 21, I can proudly say that things got so much better. I don't know where I'd be without the representation she gave, I hope you're resting in peace Naya

    Even as a stranger to Naya who got to watch her only on TV I can't believe she's gone. It doesn't feel like she's gone, same goes for Robin Williams. They touched so many people's hearts and we won't forget them. Thank you for your kindness and talent Naya.

    It's amazing how she impacted people not just as a celebrity but as a person. All messages and tributes were saying the same thing. As Kevin said, she would treat you the way she treats her family and friends. She has touched so many lives, indeed. It's hard to believe that two months from now will be her first death anniversary. 😭

    This could be the first celebrity death that was so hard for me to take in. I've always wished the best for Naya. I remember how I'd always fancast her in show forums because I was just in awe of her beauty and personality. I was so mad when she got demoted to being recurring cast in Glee and got a very short part in their I Lived performance. Almost all of my most favorite Glee covers were sung by her.
