In the video, Haddish films ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things with Tiffany Haddish’ and hears in her earpiece from a producer that she won the Grammy for which she was nominated. She stops talking briefly to the children and asks tearfully, ‘Are you serious? I really won? ”
“You know a black woman has not won in the category since 1986,” Haddish told the children, noting that Whoopi Goldberg was the last black woman to win the award for ‘Whoopi Goldberg: Original Broadway Show Recording’. has.
One child she says done know it because she learned it during Black History Month.
Haddish uses her victory and reaction as a learning moment: ‘Can I tell you why I’m crying? It’s a bunch of bumpy roads you cross, right? And it often feels to you, ‘Am I doing the right thing? Is it good enough? Am I good enough? Am I strong enough to do this job? ‘”
“And then you have to believe in yourself as much as you can,” she continues. “In all likelihood, you’re just saying, ‘You know what? I’m just going to put my best foot in, and I’ll give the world the best I’ve got. ‘ Right? Anything is possible. “
