I’m giving you a quick list of positive moments that’ll be worth remembering in the future. I will not discuss Will hitting Rock bottom, I’m going to let Black leaders be the voices for that public discussion. These are the moments I LOVED and cannot wait to commemorate with my friends and family this week!
I’m giving you a quick list of positive moments that’ll be worth remembering in the future. I will not discuss Will hitting Rock bottom, I’m going to let Black leaders be the voices for that public discussion.
These are the moments I LOVED and cannot wait to commemorate with my friends and family this week! In no particular order-
Ariana DeBose giving love to LGBTQ audiences with representation
“Lastly, imagine this little girl in the back seat of a white Ford Focus, look into her eyes: You see a queer, openly queer woman of color, an Afro Latina who found her strength in life through art. And that’s what I believe we’re here to celebrate.

Thank you to the Academy and thank you all.”

“Right now we’re coming out of some difficult times filled with a lot of trauma and isolation, and so many people out there feel hopelessness and they feel alone, and suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States. It’s touched many families, it’s touched mine, especially members of the LGBTQ community who often feel out of place with their peers. We’re faced with discriminatory and bigoted legislation sweeping our country with the only goal of further dividing us. There is violence and hate crimes being perpetuated on innocent civilians all over the world. In times like this, I think of Tammy, and I’m inspired by her radical acts of love. I’m inspired by her compassion and I see it as a guiding principle that leads us forward, and it connects us all in the desire that we want to be accepted for who we are, for who we love, and to live a life without the fear or violence or terror. For any of you out there who do in fact feel hopeless or alone, I just want you to know that you’re unconditionally loved for the uniqueness that is you.”
