I’m thankful for artists who use their talents and platform to create diverse stories in media, from film to comics. Ava DuVernay and her brilliant cast for the upcoming A Wrinkle in Time makes a statement on its own. Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight is the year’s best film and tells a story that defies stereotypes and is beautifully transcendent. Issa Rae gives young women everywhere a relatable character in her hilarious and authentic show, Insecure. And G. Willow Wilson gives us a wonderful and thoughtful superhero with the new Ms. Marvel. – Gabrielle Bondi
