Cynthia Erivo will receive the Stephen F Kolzak Award at the GLAAD Media Awards for her significant contributions to raising visibility for queer performers, particularly as a queer woman of color. Her journey began with her TV debut in 'Chewing Gum', and she openly discussed her sexuality in a 2022 British Vogue interview. GLAAD lauds her impactful legacy as she advocates for marginalized communities while breaking barriers in the entertainment industry. The awards ceremony is set for March 27 in Los Angeles.
Her legacy is defined not by her numerous accolades and honours but by how, with each new platform and milestone, she continues to show up for Black, queer and other marginalised peoples.
As she continues to shatter glass ceilings, I am certain her commitment to showing up as the intersectional and authentic person she is, will never falter.
