Our Speaker: Ruth E. Carter
The Springfield Family Center Boys & Girls Club was like a second home for Ruth E. Carter. It was there that she learned how to read sewing patterns, use her mother’s sewing machine, and spent time drawing and coloring. Her love for art led her to discover a passion for costume design.
After earning her Bachelor of Arts in costume design at Hampton University, Carter went on to work at the prestigious Santa Fe Opera where she began her costuming career. Ruth E. Carter is credited on over 70 titles in film, television, and theater. Her work includes iconic films such as: Do the Right Thing, Selma, Malcolm X, Coming 2 America, as well as Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
She has been recognized with 46 awards and 39 nominations throughout her career and in 2023, Ruth E. Carter won her second Oscar for costume design in the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, making her the first Black woman to win multiple Oscars for any category.
