Celebrate 50+ artists who broke barriers, took risks, and changed the world of entertainment forever!
While these creatives came from different backgrounds and overcame unique struggles, they had one thing
in common: they would not take "You can't" for an answer. With a don't-give-up attitude, these fearless firsts
fought for what they believed in and created a better artistic world.
In this book, you'll read about very famous entertainers, like Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey. You'll also discover
the first Asian American comic book writer and the first runway model in a wheelchair. You'll meet the world's
first modern graffiti artist, the first Black man to host a TV series, and the first Indigenous American Oscar
winner. Beyond individuals, you'll learn about important groups, like the East West Players and the Hamilton
cast. By the time you're done reading, whether you see yourself as an artist or not, you'll be inspired to stay
optimistic, fight against injustice, and be fearless in whatever you set your mind to!
