Outfest Fusion, an annual gathering of diverse cross-sections of the LGBTQ community in entertainment, will bestow the founder of The Blackhouse Foundation with its achievement award
, the organization said Tuesday.
“I am deeply honored to receive the 2020 Fusion Achievement Award and genuinely staggered by the realization that Fusion is in its 17th year of vital existence and uplift in our community," Diamond said in a statement. "As one of the original funders of Fusion, I grow more proud and inspired each year by the work that Outfest does through Fusion to recognize and affirm the varied textures, hues and stories of LGBTQ+ people of color.
“As a storyteller, I’m always mindful that the stories we tell and project have the power to influence and affirm culture. I strive to have a spectrum of work that challenges the status quo and proves that a queer, brown, daughter of working-class immigrants can create work that resonates beyond identity and prescribed expectations," Mejia added.
