My babies upstairs watching, y’all better be off them damn phones and watching me right now!
First, Father God, in the name of Jesus, I thank you, and I praise you for every part of this faith walk—every lesson, every test, and every blessing. Thank you to the Golden Globe voters for seeing me and reminding me that purpose always finds its moment. To my mommy and my daddy, it’s up for y’all any time—I love y’all so much. Thank you for being here with me tonight. To my tribe, my grounding force, my joy, my daily reminder that love is an action, not just a word, and everything I do is rooted in that truth.
To Paul “Let Him Cook” Thomas Anderson, thank you for your vision, your trust, and your brilliance. My gratitude is endless. I love you. We love you and thank you so much for holding space for me and our entire cast. Leo, Sean, Benicio, Chase, Regina, everybody, the crew, every single person who has touched this project—none of this is taken lightly…Pam, Mike, Warner Brothers, Sarah, Cassandra, Natina, Lee, WME, this whole journey would not exist without you and your support. I love you, and I thank you so much.
And last, but most importantly, to my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight. Our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into, our voices matter, and our dreams deserve space. Thank you so much, everybody.
