we are moving towards a space where I think it is now more widely accepted to hear all of those labels wrapped up into one person.” When DeBose was awarded the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, she delivered one of the most emotional speeches of the evening, nailing down the progress that’s been made over the years and how the art we make nowadays is more reflective of the world. “Imagine this little girl in the backseat of a white Ford Focus,” she said at the ceremony. “Look into her eyes, you see a queer — openly queer — woman of color, Afro-Latina who found her strength in life through art, and that’s what I believe we are here to celebrate.”A post shared by Ariana DeBose (@arianadebose)Ariana DeBose will be hosting this year’s Tony Awards and was recently named as one of Time Magazine’s Most Influential People.
