‘No thank you, I’m a child of God’

Twenty-one-year-old dancer and actress Laetitia Iacono spoke with our editor Tola-Doll Fisher about fame, faith and finding her voice

When a video of Laetitia Iacono politely but firmly declining Usher’s infamous ‘cherry’ routine - where he offers a female audience member a cherry in a move mimicking sexual innuendo - at his own concert went viral, Christian circles across the world took notice. I sat down with Laetitia – dancer, actress and self-described child of God – to talk about faith, resilience and what it really means to stand your ground in a world that often wants you to compromise.
