The fact that Purpose, which is about a Black family, and Maybe Happy Ending, which was adapted from a Korean musical and kept the story in Korea, won the top awards shows that we can have non-white stories. I hope this can trickle down to smaller productions. Representation matters. (3/3)

- Nicole Scherzinger and Francis Jue were the first Asians to win in their categories after 30+ years.
- Branden Jacob-Jenkins is the first Black playwright to win Best Play in almost 40 years for Purpose, which has an asexual character. (2/3)

I have no doubt Audra McDonald will receive a 7th+ Tony Award(s) because everything she does is magnificent and top tier. She elevates the art of acting, performance, voice/song. Her physicality in each role is outstanding. It will be exciting to see what role(s) she takes on/created next.

Audra McDonald is literally us…
after settling into our own space to share some joy and being set upon & antagonized at every turn

sick of the bulllshxt…
bursting blood vessels, gritting teeth into grins, acting as if…standing on business about what we deserve and intend to have…THIS time #SheIsUs
