🎶 Ethel Waters was a child of rape and a child bride at 13 to an abusive husband, but rose to star at the Cotton Club, be the highest-paid performer on Broadway, be the first African American to star in her own television show, be nominated for an Academy Award, and, well, there's plenty more.
:heart_pride: She was also reportedly bisexual and had a significant LGBTQ following.
Crystal Waters is her grand niece.
