Tuesday night, Glee actress Amber Riley was crowned the newest winner of ABC's Dancing with the Stars. Her dance partner Derek Hough was the winner of the previous season. The win came as a surprise to Amber and many watching.
She battled and overcame some obstacles like bruised knees, and achieved her goals of having fun, winning, and getting healthier. Even though she tried not to make her weight a focal point, Amber did want to gain confidence and lose weight during her time on the show. Her size was something that was point of interest, but she managed to dance right through all of the criticism and comments not letting them get in her way.
She has inspired so many girls and women of all sizes. You go girl!
