Normani claims that she was frequently neglected for possibilities provided to other members during her tenure in the girl band.
She later added, “I didn’t get to really sing in the group. I felt like I was overlooked. That idea has been projected on me. Like, this is your place.”

“The fact that my skin was chocolate was a beautiful thing,” she continued. “My kinky hair was beautiful. I don’t need to straighten it. I can rock my braids to my all-white school.”
Normani, on the other hand, went on to say that she had already experienced several microaggressions and racist comments from her white classmates by the time she was in the sixth school.
She said, “I did get bullied a lot,” she admitted. “Not feeling like I had that representation at school was very hard.”
Normani claimed she’s now understood her power and is “reinventing” herself as she pushes on in her solo career, despite having faced with such terrible events in the past – both throughout her upbringing and during her teenage years and early 20s in the public spotlight.
Further in her interview with Allure, Normani said,
“I’m reinventing myself,” “Now you all are finally going to be able to see me tap into that awareness — that I know I’m the shit.”
“My purpose in this work that I do is for other people that feel like they have Black women figured out,” she went on. “There’s so many layers to us, there’s so many textures, there’s so much that we’re capable of doing.”

Normani is now a solo artist, leaving her imprint in her own unique style and being true to herself.
She continued to say, Yes, I can throw ass. But I can also give you a proper eight-count, and I can do ballet, and I can do the contemporary dance. If I want to sing this pop ballad, then you’re going to love it!”
