Quvenzhane Wallis: Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards 2013

Quvenzhane Wallis shows off another one of her cute dog purses while attending the 2013 Essence Black Women In Hollywood Awards Luncheon held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday afternoon (February 21) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The nine-year-old Oscar nominee took home the Breakthrough Performance Award and even thanked her babysitter in her speech — how sweet!

“I would like to thank everyone who helped me play this part, and everyone who was there for me, and my babysitter who was on set,” she shared.

Quvenzhane is also pictured below with co-star Dwight Henry, Executive Director of President’s Commission on Arts and the Humanities Rachel Goslins, and first lady Michelle Obama at an interactive student workshop held at the State Dining Room of the White House last week.
