For our last #MotivationalMonday of #BlackHistoryM For our last #MotivationalMonday of #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re looking to the future of young Black artists. Our spotlight is on Leah Sava Jeffries, who, at only 16, has been making an impact in the industry for over a decade! ✨ She landed her first role at just 5 years old, playing Lola Lyons on ‘Empire,’ delivering her lines & improvising so well that the director just kept rolling. At 11, she played Idris Elba's daughter in ‘Beast,’ earning praise for her emotional maturity alongside Elba, who called her “an amazing person [and] great actor.” 🎭 In 2022, it was revealed that Leah would play Annabeth Chase in Disney’s hotly anticipated adaptation of the Percy Jackson books, a demigod daughter of Athena & one of the saga’s lead characters. An amazing & well-earned opportunity, but the announcement was marred by an onslaught of online harassment & bullying. In the books, Annabeth is described as white with blonde hair & gray eyes. Clearly, Leah has none of these physical traits & this was enough for racially misogynistic trolls to target the 12-year-old, demanding the role be recast. The backlash led Rick Riordan, the books’ author, to publicly condemn the attacks on Leah & praise her talent, saying: “It’s a shame such posts need to be written, but they do…Leah brings so much energy and enthusiasm to this role, so much of Annabeth’s strength. She will be a role model for new generations of girls who will see in her the kind of hero they want to be.” To the perpetrators, he stated: “Whatever else you take from this post, we should be able to agree that bullying and harassing a child online is inexcusably wrong.” Since then, Leah has given award-winning performances in the show’s first 2 seasons & has handled the haters with grace beyond her years, even saying recently, “I forgive anyone who was saying the bad stuff.” At 16, Leah Sava Jeffries has already experienced some of the best & worst moments that actors – especially women of color – can face. Riordan is right; she never should have had to endure that abuse, but in the face of adversity, she carried herself with talent & dignity worthy of a daughter of Athena — and of herself. 💛💪🏾 #GirlsInTheArts

Who’s ready for #MotivationalMonday & to celebrate Who’s ready for #MotivationalMonday & to celebrate more amazing women? Today, #LAWTF honors Viola Davis – iconic actress, activist & our second spotlight of #BlackHistoryMonth 💫 Born in 1965, the second youngest of 6 children, Viola knew hardship from the very beginning. She’s always been open about growing up in abject poverty, facing food insecurity & unsafe housing and how her past has shaped her artistry, saying that “Everything I've experienced is what connects me to the world. It's given me an extraordinary sense of compassion.” 💪🏾❤️ Viola debuted on Broadway in the original 1996 production of ‘Seven Guitars,’ receiving critical acclaim & earning her first Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play. She won the award for the first time in 2001 for her role in ‘King Hedley II,’ the second in 2010 for the stage revival of ‘Fences.’ When ‘Fences’ was adapted for film in 2016, Viola reprised her role & won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. She won an Emmy for her iconic role as Annalise Keating in ‘How to Get Away with Murder,’ & her Grammy win for the audiobook of her memoir makes Viola one of only 3 Black women to achieve EGOT status. 🎬🎭🏆 It seems that activism is in Viola’s blood. Her mother, Mae Alice Davis, was an activist during the civil rights movement & Viola has been an advocate in her own right for many years. Since 2014, Viola has worked with the ‘Hunger Is’ campaign, which aims to eradicate childhood hunger across America, as well as donating to multiple causes. Viola has said that when she was younger, she “did not feel worthy of having a voice,” but credits acting, the theatre & the other Black women in her life for helping her see her worth. Now, whether by refusing to wear a wig to the Oscars or speaking at the 2018 Women’s March, not speaking out is unthinkable for Viola. 💪🏾 Born into seemingly impossible odds, Viola Davis not only beat them, she helped redefine what was thought possible for Black women in Hollywood – demanding space & commanding every role she takes on – all the while, never forgetting where she came from & working to lift as many people up with her as she can. 💜✨ #WomenInTheArts #TheStrengthWeCarry
