Naya Rivera

Naya successfully established her career when she accepted the credit role of Hillary Winston in the 1991 sitcom, The Royal Family. That was where she earned a Young Artist Award at the age of five, after doing a lot of commercials before that. She then had multiple television appearances until she got her first role as the lesbian teenager in Glee, Santana Lopez. This role got her multiple awards like the SAG Award, and various other nominations, even in the Grammys.

Naya then decided to sign under Columbia Records as a solo artist back in 2011 and released her single, Sorry, in 2013. Because of her talent, she also garnered two ALMA Awards as a singer.But her life wasn’t simply about being talented, but also kind in heart. She had been a philanthropist, raising charitable causes for LGBT rights, women’s rights, and immigrant’s rights. Naya also spoke against racism. Her legacy will always remain.
