Thank you, again and again, @breakthroughtv , (@mooredarnell and Sohini Bhattacharya) for honoring my sister-comrades in the struggle @afroboricua3, @kalimahthelocmama, @_queenleesh, @suiteladyoro, @kenyette_tish, and me with the 2019 Activist Impact Award. * * * “None of this work happens in a vacuum, it doesn’t happen by ourselves,” Aishah Shahidah Simmons, a filmmaker, writer and educator, tells PEOPLE. “ * To recognize us collectively was just very powerful for me and important because we do this work collectively,” said Simmons, who directed and produced the award-winning NO! The Rape Documentary and recently launched #LoveWITHAccountability, a project focused on addressing child sex abuse. * * “We’re in this moment because of a momentum of work by so many,” she added. “It’s powerful to be honored.” * #BreakthroughInspiration #MuteRKelly #MeToo #EndSexAbuse #EndSexualViolence #EndChildSexAbuse #EndRapeCulture #TellSomebody #IAmNegra #SASHACenter #BlackWomenLeaders #BlackWomenActivists #AfroLatinxActivists #BelieveBlackWomen #TraScapades #ImInPeopleMagazineYall #ArtIsAWeapon (at The Pierre, A Taj Hotel, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxxtGT6hX1Z/?igshid=8o1ayc86u13b
