The 74th Emmy Awards were presented Monday night at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, with performers of color making a strong showing in the 25 categories announced on live television.

Euphoria actress Zendaya was a repeat winner, taking home her second Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama Series. The back-to-back wins made her the youngest two-time acting winner in Emmys history.

The 26 year old plays Rue in the HBO series about high school students grappling with drugs, sex, and violence. On stage, Zendaya said her “greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people.”

“To anyone who has ever, ever had a dream and thought your dream wasn’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t come true, I am here to tell you that this is what believing looks like,” she told the audience.
