You gave voice to underserved voices in the media arena. You started a conversation that was not on television when you began, and you worked with a group of people who you invited to that conversation to collaborate with you, to sharpen that conversation, and what you don't realize is that when you walk out of here, [[AndTheAdventureContinues that conversation doesn't end]]." |
