I'm very glad the story started with Peter Idah and it's nice to see someone like Kelsey get this recognition for his hard work. The industry (and the world at large) is skewed in ways we can't really understand without being in other people's shoes and this is a small glimpse into that reality. You should be rewarded for the merits of your work and instead we're marginalised by the colour of our skin. I've never experienced what Kelsey has, or maybe I'm just ignorant to the signs, but it's important that more people like Kelsey come to be in positions of "power" and become role models for those who need to see someone like them can make it to where he has.
