The 2022 Emmys is helping to set a precedent that Black creatives no longer have to be considered the first in their respective fields.
Ralph, a Hollywood legend with a career spanning more than 40 years, took home her first Emmy on Monday. At 32, Brunson made history by being the youngest Black woman nominated for an award in the comedy acting category. She’s also the second Black woman in the Emmys’ 74-year history to win the award for outstanding writing for a comedy series.
Lizzo accepts Outstanding Competition Program for "Lizzo's Watch Out For The Big Grrrls" onstage during the 74th Primetime Emmys at Microsoft Theater, in Los Angeles, on Sept. 12, 2022.. The precarious situation wasn’t lost on Ralph as she delivered her acceptance speech — partly through a powerful rendition of Dianne Reeves’ “Endangered Species.”
“These women showed a level of solidarity with other writers, actresses and entertainers that must be celebrated. It helps underscore how Black achievement is not a zero-sum game,” he said. “Rather, what we see is Black women lifting up a better representation of Black people and bringing Black talent with them. This is clearly the case with Quinta Brunson and Sheryl Lee Ralph, as well as Lizzo.”
