For Woodard it’s about all about celebrating the achievements of black actresses and mentoring the next generation.

“To this soirée I invite all the African American women and women of color who have ever been nominated for an acting Oscar and those, who in a perfect world, should have been,” said Woodard. “I bring them together to celebrate each other and recognize we are colleagues, not competitors, for the three jobs designated for brown girls.”
