After a brief sabbatical from social media, Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei is back online and ready to tackle the virtual bullies of the internet.
Kordei originally took a Twitter break after experiencing severe cyberbullying. She suffered from “horrific and racially charged” abuse and decided it was time to go offline. But now Kordei is back and she’s partnered with Cybersmile Foundation in an effort to combat online harassment.

“By working with Cybersmile I want to raise awareness of the support that is available to people affected while playing my part in contributing to a kinder and more positive internet for everybody,” said Kordei said. “No one has the right to make where you go or what you do uncomfortable. It’s important to stand up to all forms of bullying, and it’s even more important for those who are around you to be just as courageous and stand with you! Together we can put an end to the hate and promote only positivity and love.”
