Marley Dias couldn’t be at the Philly Geek Awards because she was busy being honored by Ava DuVernay

Eleven-year-old Marley Dias’s #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign was named Movement of the Year at the 2016 Philly Geek Awards. She couldn’t come to the Free Library to accept her award, though. She was a little busy.

The Essex County, New Jersey native had just been honored by Ava DuVernay — the lauded director of “Selma” and “13th” — at Variety’s Power of Women event and presumably had to take Sunday evening to, we don’t know, catch up on homework or conduct an interview with some other famous and powerful women for her Elle-backed online mag.

We’re not mad, though: In her place, Marley sent this kick-ass video, which includes a rousing call for racial equality.
