Cynthia Erivo Set For Career Honor At GLAAD Media Awards


Wicked star Cynthia Erivo will receive GLAAD's Stephen F. Kolzak Award for raising visibility and promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people and issues.

Her film credits also include Pinocchio(2022), Chaos Walking, Bad Times at the El Royale and Widows, along with the upcoming Carrier and Children of Blood and Bone. “From an outspoken ally to a trailblazing member of the community, Cynthia Erivo’s one-of-a-kind voice has been an integral part of accelerating acceptance for LGBTQ people since she came on the scene over a decade ago,” GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “Her legacy is defined not by her numerous accolades and honors but by how with each new platform and milestone, she continues to show up for Black, queer, and other marginalized peoples amid her well-deserved success.”
