Ruth E Carter, the costume designer best known for her work on the Marvel blockbusterCarter won her first Oscar in 2019 for Black Panther, then becoming the first Black person to win the costume design category.
“I pulled myself up from my bootstraps,” Carter said after her win on Sunday night. “I started – single-parent household. I wanted to be a costume designer. I studied, I scraped, I dealt with adversity in the industry that sometimes didn’t look like me. I endured.“So I feel that this win opens the door for other young costume designers may not think that this industry is for them and hopefully they’ll see me and they’ll see my story and they’ll think that they can win an Oscar too.
