Rachel Lindsay of “Extra” and “The Bachelor” will return as AWMF’s social media ambassador.
This year’s theme of “storytelling” celebrates the tapestry of narratives of the many awardees and how these stories reach audiences and beyond. In honor of a record number of submissions from women directors, the Gracies will include a “special in-show moment” recognizing them. The AWMF is an organization that has supported women in media since 1951. The Gracies are named after Gracie Allen, a pioneer in the radio, television and film industries.
“This year’s recipients exemplify Gracie Allen’s spirit through their exceptional talent, innovation, and vision,” said Becky Brooks, president of AWMF. “Their steadfast dedication to their craft and their tenacious resolve to break boundaries serve as a compelling testament to the essential role women play in molding the cultural landscape.”
