NK Jemisin's Powerful Hugo Award Acceptance speech [View all]

For those who don't know, Jemisin became the first African-American to win sci-fi's biggest honor, the Hugo Award for Best Novel, in 2016, for her novel The Fifth Season. Since then she has won every year for subsequent books in the series, and last Sunday she became the first person ever to win best novel for every book in a trilogy. Her acceptance speech was amazing (as was her cape).
