Kerry Washington received a Vanguard Award at the 2015 GLAAD Media Awards ceremony over the weekend. She gave a powerful speech that tells the truth in eloquent and inspiring terms.

Everyone should memorize this speech and repeat it to everyone they know. I’m working on that very thing by playing it over and over.

Other GLAAD Media Award winners for 2015 included The Imitation Game, How to Get Away with Murder, Transparent plus several more winners.
