Not only are we excited that Viola Davis will be our keynote speaker for Women’s Empowerment but she is currently making history for minorities and more…..
Last night Viola Davis took home her 2nd SAG award for How to Get Away With Murder. She kindly thanked the SAG awards and then afterwards she spoke on the diversity issue. Some see this as a breakthrough for diversity with more minorities winning in other awards like SAG.
Davis spoke to reporters backstage after her win and stressed that a push for diversity is an ongoing battle and not a “trending topic.”
