I took a moment to ask Niecy-Nash Betts why it was important to thank herself after winning her Emmy. Such a special and well-deserved win for her:
Niecy Nash-Betts on thanking herself at the Emmys: “I’m the only one who knows how much it cost me. I’m the only one who knows how many nights I cried because I couldn’t be seen for a certain type of role.”
