4 Most Inspiring Moments from the 2017 Golden Globes

 

3. Donald Glover

“Atlanta” took TV by storm this past fall for its portrayal of a Princeton dropout trying to support himself and his family by becoming the manager for his cousin, an emerging rapper known as Paper Boi. The show won two Golden Globes Best TV Series Comedy or Musical and Best Actor in a TV Comedy or Musical (Glover). He took the time during his speeches to recognize Atlanta and thank the city for liking the show. He also talked about how when he grew up, magic wasn’t allowed, and everyone in the room was magical to him. He also told a story about how his dad used to tell him he could do anything he wanted and he didn’t think that was possible, but now that he does things his dad says he didn’t think it was possible. This is one of the most inspiring moments from the 2017 Golden Globes that is especially poignant for people of color who live in an environment where they may not be celebrated. Glover is another person who shows us that all stories are worth telling.
