The Creative Arts Emmys shone bright last Saturday night on FXX, particularly for fans of “Living Out Loud.” The show snagged two prestigious awards out of six nominations: Outstanding Casting for a Reality Program and Outstanding Cinematography for a Reality Program. This event was particularly groundbreaking, as it was the first time individuals with Down syndrome presented awards at such a ceremony. Cast members Mia Roberts and Jake Daniels took to the stage to announce winners in three categories.
Speaking to Home Insemination Kit, Mia’s parents, Tom and Linda Roberts, shared how “Living Out Loud” brings hope and encouragement to families with children who have Down syndrome. They emphasized, “The show promotes inclusion by highlighting that individuals with Down syndrome have aspirations just like everyone else.” Mia, bubbling with excitement, expressed her joy, saying, “I can’t believe I got to attend the Emmys twice! It was so special and I loved every moment.”
Adding to the celebration, Jake Daniels chimed in, “It never hurts to say please, thank you, and I’m sorry!”
Maya Ashmore, mother of cast member Elena, reflected on the impact of “Living Out Loud,” stating, “The show has shown us that every life has value. It has created a space for Elena and me to grow together, allowing her to build her self-esteem.” Elena herself shared how monumental the night was, stating, “Being nominated for an Emmy was overwhelming, but winning was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Meeting celebrities and receiving positive feedback made me so proud of myself and everyone around me. Plus, it was incredible to witness Mia and Jake present awards for the first time in Emmy history!”
