<p>The 29-year-old actress, who stars in the YouTube Premium original series &#8220;Youth &amp; Consequences,&#8221; admitted to not having prepared a speech before saying, <strong>&#8220;People need us more than ever. Marginalized groups need us more than ever. I’m not only a woman of color, but I’m also a queer woman. Please get out to the polls and vote.&#8221;</strong></p>

<p>After the show, Akana took to Facebook to reveal that her unplanned announcement was due to the fact that she did not expect to win and <strong>&#8220;got very inebriated.&#8221;</strong></p>
