A break from filming allowed Walter to celebrate influential LGBTQIA+ people that shape culture, politics and society at the Out100 event 2024.
“It feels very blessed. It is a blessing to work with me Sheryl (Lee Ralph) daily. Brittani Nicholsone of our authors, is also being honored and I adore her. I adore all the people on our show,” she noted. “And to be on a show that acknowledges the people in the community – because it’s not every day that you get to be part of a project that embraces diversity so effortlessly – without making that the core point.” “That is the gay person, this is the trans person, this is the queer non-binary person.”

For all these reasons I feel like it’s an exceptional evening and I’m proud to be here.”
