FIREBUDS nominated for a 2023 GLAAD Award! (Matt's 3rd in a row!)
Today, GLAAD revealed nominations for the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards, and I'm thrilled to announce that FIREBUDS (the Disney Junior series on which I was story editor/head writer) is nominated for Outstanding Children's Programming. The awards, created to “honor media for fair, accurate and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues,” will be doled out during a pair of ceremonies, first in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hilton on March 30 and later in New York City at Hilton Midtown on May 13.
Congratulations to creator/EP Craig Gerber, the wonderful writers and amazing crew of FIREBUDS. It's a groundbreaking show in a lot of ways, representation-wise - and I'm grateful it's being acknowledged. This is the third year in a row that a project for which I've written/story edited has been nominated. The two previous years were for Fancy Nancy - and the first of those nominations was Disney Junior's first ever GLAAD nomination.
Representation matters!
