Pride Spotlight: LENA WAITHE
LENA WAITHE:
Some of you may recognize her from Master of None, Ready Player One or Queen & Slim. Waithe is an AMAZING actor - I have been so inspired by her humor, authentic voice and confidence.
Waithe made history as the first African-American woman to win an Emmy award for comedy writing. In her acceptance speech, she made waves for highlighting her "LGBTQIA family."
Waithe encourages LGBT people of color to be 'beacons of light' in Hollywood.
