6. Raven-Symoné — From Teen Comedy Star to LGBTQ+ Advocate
Raven-Symoné was already famous before Disney, having appeared on The Cosby Show. But her true stardom came from That’s So Raven, one of Disney Channel’s biggest hits.
After Disney, Raven’s career was eclectic. She co-hosted The View, where she became known for her outspoken takes on politics and culture. She also came out publicly as part of the LGBTQ+ community, becoming a visible advocate for acceptance and representation.
Today, Raven continues to balance entertainment and activism. She stars in Raven’s Home, proving her staying power as a Disney alum, while also using her platform to promote conversations about identity and equality.
