“Real progress to me looks like diverse representation, not being a ‘conversation’ or ‘groundbreaking.’ It’s just how things should be; it’s what normal should look like.” —Singer and actress Andra Day (andradaymusic)
Tonight, the first-time nominee is up for two Golden Globe Awards (goldenglobes), both from her work on the film “The United States vs. Billie Holiday.”
For Andra, being a Black woman in her industry means “having to break down barriers, stereotypes and not adhering to other’s expectations. It means reminding people that Black women are amazing multilayered human beings like everyone else.
Andra explains, “Black women know best how to represent themselves and tell their stories. Invest in them. Fund them. Straight like that.”
