The Mexican -Kenyan actress is photographed with Adrienne C. Moore, Danielle Brooks, Laverne Cox, Lorraine Toussaint, Samira Wiley, Uzo Aduba and Vicky Jeudy. 

In an acceptance speech, Danielle Brooks said “We've all been told we’re too tall, too fat, too black, not woman enough,” Brooks said. “I've learned we’re right the way we are. … I hope we continue to inspire people with all we are and the essence of who we are.”

Yaaaay!!!! Black girls rock!
