Lashana Lynch, Melina Matsoukas, Niecy Nash and 'Pose' cast honored at Essence Black Women in Hollywood
At Diane von Furstenberg and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ sixth Oscars luncheon, female nominees were celebrated, but the talk turned to continuing inequality in the film industry.
Matsoukas was next, introduced by her friend and “Insecure” collaborator Issa Rae. In her speech, the director paid tribute to Rae, her mother, “Queen & Slim” writer Lena Waithe, and her frequent collaborator Beyoncé.“My true first foray into directing was 15 years ago with my sister, Beyoncé, who genuinely started my career,” she said. “She taught me how to work, how to dream, how to achieve and most importantly as an artist, how to control your own narrative.
Billy Porter presented the award to his “Pose” co-stars, with co-executive producer-director-writer Janet Mock taking the opportunity to speak out on behalf of black transgender women and girls.
