An important message from @cynthiaerivo to the folks that are trying to find the courage to exist as their whole and true self from the GLAAD archives: “The real work is making the ground we leave in our wake level enough for the next person who finds their way to the path we have made. For the person who is searching and has not found it yet, this room is full of people who can and will if they choose and I hope they will because I do, to be lanterns to light up your path on the way to showing the world who you are.” Cynthia Erivo received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award at the 36th Annual GLAAD Awards. 🎥: 36th Annual #GLAADAwards
