As theGrio reported, his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward Boseman, was visibly emotional while accepting the honor during the event.
‘”Wow. It has to be said aloud that for those of us who know Chad intimately, personally, professionally, those he taught, those he gave a word of advice, those who taught him — it is so hard to find a celebratory feeling in these moments,” she said in the acceptance speech while fighting back tears. “As proud as we are of him, yes for his work, but even more just for who he is as a person. But his work deserves this.”
Zendaya was also honored as the recipient of the fifth annual SeeHer Award, presented by her Malcolm and Marie co-star John David Washington.
“We are so proud to be a part of the Critics Choice Awards, and celebrating our fifth SeeHer Award,” said Nadine Karp McHugh, President, SeeHer, in a press release. “We are delighted to be presenting the award to Zendaya, who is such a strong representation of what it means to be a woman in 2021.”
Zendaya was given the award for both her acting and her activism, says McHugh.
“From being the youngest actress to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series to using her platform to advocate for Black women in Hollywood, she is showing the next generation that you are never too young to use your voice to make a difference. Inspiring girls everywhere to see themselves in their full potential, Zendaya represents everything SeeHer is.”
