Sheryl Lee Ralph, Quinta Brunson, Lizzo and Zendaya dominated the 2022 Emmys, making the biggest night in television a historic moment for Black women in TV.
Ralph, a Hollywood legend with a career spanning more than 40 years, took home her first Emmy on Monday. At 32, Brunson made history by being the youngest Black woman nominated for an award in the comedy acting category. She’s also the second Black woman in the Emmys’ 74-year history to win the award for outstanding writing for a comedy series.
“With the success of these shows, it opens the reality to networks that Black women and Blackness is marketable,” Serbo said. “This will lead the way to more Black writers, more Black actresses on writers, sitcoms, reality series and competition series, as well. This leads to more spaces of Black creative possibility.”according to Essence
“To anyone who has ever, ever had a dream and thought your dream wasn’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t come true,” said Ralph, 65, “I am here to tell you that this is what believing looks like. This is what striving looks like. And don’t you ever, ever give up on you.” “These women showed a level of solidarity with other writers, actresses and entertainers that must be celebrated. It helps underscore how Black achievement is not a zero-sum game,” he said. “Rather, what we see is Black women lifting up a better representation of Black people and bringing Black talent with them. This is clearly the case with Quinta Brunson and Sheryl Lee Ralph, as well as Lizzo.
