Lena Waithe To Voice Lesbian Character In Disney-Pixar’s ‘Onward’ LenaWaithe

In 2017, she was the first African American woman to be honored with an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for an episode of the Netflix series— an episode that was actually based on her own coming-out story.
“The things that make us different, those are our superpowers,” she said in her emotional acceptance speech. “Every day when you walk out the door and put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world, because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren’t in it.”
