      On last night, the 2018 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards was filled with celebrity hots and nots in terms of fashion as always. BUT the talk of the night was none other than everybody's favorite adopted Auntie, Black-ish star Auntie Jenifer Lewis who is well known for her "tell it like it is" vernacular. Auntie Jenifer donned a Nike sweatshirt which is an Emmy first EVER in the history of the Emmys. When asked about her choice of outfit, Auntie Jennifer gladly stated, “I’m wearing this Nike because I applaud them for supporting Colin Kaepernick and his protest against police brutality and racial injustice.” She went on to state that "Nina Simon said the artist duty is to reflect the times and that's what I am doing right now. And what better time than now. " I am beyond sure that no one was expecting her, or anybody for that matter, to wear or say these things on last nights Emmy Red Carpet. But I am so glad that she decided to show her support for the reality of what is going on in today's time. Kudos and blessings to you Auntie Jennifer. You are THE REAL MVP!
