Last year, Ariana DeBose became the first Latina to win a SAG Award for her portrayal of Anita in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story. In addition to her landmark win, she also became the first queer woman of color to be recognized by the Screen Actors' Guild for their contribution to a film.

"Whatever firsts are attached to my name, they're important to me, but I'm focused on the fact that if I'm the first of anything it means I will not be the last," DeBose said to reporters backstage, per Variety.
She added, "It's indicative that doors are opening. It's an honor to be an Afro-Latina queer woman of color and a dancer and a singer and an actor."
The SAG Awards will stream live on Netflix's YouTube Channel on February 26 at 8 PM from the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
