As I write this editor note, another year of the Oscars in the books. I enjoy watching the Oscars—primarily for the fashion, but that is usually about as deep as the show gets.

Yes, some actors have a cause or two they manage to plug on stage, but this year’s show was filled with more than pet-causes and political jabs. Even the standard “Who are you wearing?” question seemed frivolous and trite in this climate. The awards became a platform for the important discussion about inclusion and perseverance. Along with the messaging of the importance to speak up and to stand up for what is right. And to do so, is imperative to move the needle forward for real change.
