Changemakers

March 21, 1994, was the date that Whoopi hosted the 66th Academy Awards. I was about to turn 14-years-old, and knew in the bottom of my heart that I wanted to make movies some day. I watched the Academy Awards as often as I could and of all the years, this one stood out to me the most. A woman, a black woman, was hosting the show and she said things I couldn’t even wrap my mind around.
