“We lay out our lives in a narrative that we understand like a movie, but are you enjoying making it or are you wondering who's watching my movie?” This was spoken by Donald Glover. Also known by his stage name Childish Gambino. An American actor, writer, comedian, singer, director, and producer. Donald is the creative brain behind the hit tv show, Atlanta. Atlanta follows two guys, Earn and Alfred, as they try to make their way in the world through the rap scene. Touching on the topics like racism, poverty, and parenthood. Donald also is the man behind hits like “This is America,” a song that touches on racism and gun violence in the United States. He has won forty-five awards and has been nominated for one hundred sixty-three due to his phenomenal work. Although he is out of the comedy scene and he does not consistently release music. Donald Glover is currently one of the best celebrities in the game because of his ability to tell stories on serious topics using music and video production and his variety of talents.

Donald Glover is one of the leading celebrities out there because he uses his music and video production to address important social issues. He often talks about his subjective experiences with things like racism, anxiety, and depression. Critics may argue that Donald Glover is not the only artist to speak out about such topics. Although this is true, Donald is constantly and effectively using his large platform to talk about these issues, often educating young adults and teenagers as well. In the music video for This is America, towards the middle a choir is seen singing in a happy tone before Gambino shoots them all. This massacre and haste recall the 2015 Charleston shooting, in which a white supremacist Dylann Roof killed nine African Americans in a church basement, while everyone else continued to dance and sing, completely ignoring what just happened, showing how Americans are so desensitized to shootings. Not only does Donald reference the 2015 Charleston shooting, but he is also seen running at the end of the video. This is symbolizing the fact that African Americans have always had to run away from people trying to harm them. (Gajanan) This proves that Donald uses his video making and music to speak up about subjects like racism and educate younger audiences about how poorly black people have been treated. Dating all the way back to the slave days.

Additionally, Donald Glover is one of the best celebrities out there due to how well-rounded he is.
