What You Didn't Know About Spike Lee's Daughter, Satchel Lee

This year, Spike Lee's children will make Hollywood history. According to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), Jackson and Satchel Lee were appointed the 2021 Golden Globe Ambassadors (via Variety) — marking the very first time in HFPA history for two siblings of color to serve as ambassadors (via PR Newswire). "Akin to their esteemed filmmaker father, known for his uncompromising and provocative storytelling, Satchel and Jackson have already begun to blaze their own paths in the arts," HFPA President Ali Sar said in a statement (via Variety). "We are honored to see how they'll use this platform to elevate the important issues of LGBTQIA+ health and youth mentorship."

In hopes of doing just that, Satchel Lee — the creative director of Drøme, an intersectional and queer magazine that features "gender-fluid, non-binary, and all-inclusive" content — chose to support Callen-Lorde, a New York-based, LGBTQ+ health care facility, via her role as an ambassador. "We're proud to carry our father's legacy of storytelling to bring attention to communities close to our hearts," Satchel Lee said in a statement (via Atlanta. News. Now.). "This year has illuminated just how disproportionately Black and brown people and the LGBTQ+ communities are affected by pre-existing conditions, so it's an honor for me to be able to shine a spotlight on the heroic doctors and nurses at Callen-Lorde who work tirelessly to care for some of the most vulnerable people in New York City," Satchel Lee said in the statement.
