Bonnie Mbuli, pictured during the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate, has opened up about her humble beginnings in the industry.As Zodwa Wabantu is called out for alleged homophobic slurs, Bonnie Mbuli has come out to show her allegiance to the LGBTQI+ community, saying she's indebted to it for helping her career grow.

The TV presenter took to her Twitter to generally remind Mzansi celebrities that they"owed" their"audacity" and"freedom" to lessons about living their lives without boundaries taught to them by the LGBTQI+ community.When are your faves going to admit that if it weren’t for the LGBQTI community, they wouldn’t have the voice to express the audacity they are now celebrated for?" she asked.

Bonnie then explained that the initial role models for many celebrities, where living freely was concerned, came from the few LGBTQI+ people in the industry that demonstrated how to fight for freedom. When are your faves going to admit that if it weren’t for the LGBQTI community, they wouldn’t have the voice to express the audacity they r now celebrated for ?they taught us what freedom feels &tastes like, they articulated for us what it means & how to fight for it!The matter was seemingly personal for Bonnie, who explained the impact that gay men and women in the entertainment industry have had in her life.

I was raised by gay men & women in this industry, they rallied around me, taught me how to show up no matter what, how to claim space for myself in places where I couldn’t breathe, they mirrored the fierceness I become before I knew it was in me, u know what? they still do!
