Asher Angel, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Joshua Rush, and Sofia Wylie strike a fun pose on the red carpet at the Actor’s Fund 2018 Looking Ahead Awards held at Taglyan Cultural Complex on Saturday night (October 28) in Hollywood.

The four stars of Andi Mack were joined by Raven’s Home stars Sky Katz, Raven Symone, and Navia Robinson, plus Ashley Argota, Garrett Clayton, singer Makayla Phillips, and honoree Monique Coleman.

The Looking Ahead Awards honors leaders in the current and former young performer community who inspire the world by living the program’s core values of growth, education, leadership and community service.

Andi Mack was awarded with The Elizabeth Taylor Award for Social Awareness from Elizabeth Taylor’s great-granddaughter Vivian McMurray and grandson Tarquin Wilding; while Raven-Symoné was presented with The Looking Ahead Award for Education from Debbie Allen.

Meanwhile, Monique received The Looking Ahead Award for Community Service from her HSM director Kenny Ortega.

We’re always so inspired by these young women and the amazing things they do were recognized at the Girl Up #GirlHero Awards!

Yara Shahidi was among the honorees at the event held on Sunday (October 14) at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Also in attendance at the event were Sabrina Carpenter, Katherine McNamara, Ariel Winter, Monique Coleman, and Elsie Fisher with Eighth Grade director Bo Burnham.

Yara gave an inspiring speech that paid tribute to her mother for teaching her to know her own worth.

“Not only what she’s done for me, but what you’ve done for my brothers as well, is created an environment where it is the expectation that women follow their passions, but more than that, that we walk into every room understanding our worth,” Yara said. “No matter what faulty criteria is put on our voice, we walk in understanding that our existence is criteria enough, is proof enough of our ability to speak on certain issues, on our ability to convey empathy. And more than anything, our importance and emphasis on globalism.”

Sabrina performed her single “Almost Love” and a cover of Ariana Grande‘s “God is a Woman” at the event.

FYI: Yara is wearing a Carolina Herrera outfit and boots. Sabrina is wearing a Marc Jacobs outfit.

Alisha Wainwright steps out for the 2018 ipsy Gen Beauty event over the weekend in Los Angeles.

The Shadowhunters actress joined Jenna Ortega, DeVore Ledridge, Monique Coleman, Olesya Rulin, and makeup guru Laura Sanchez at the beauty event this weekend.

In a recent interview, Alisha opened up about an underlying storyline that most fans might not have picked up on — acceptance.

“I feel like a lot of stuff happened in season 2, and I think in season 3, you kind of take a step back and see how do you make the day to day work,” she shared.

“It’s less about the stuff that’s happening, the stuff that’s being done to the people, and more about how the people are connecting with each other.”

“[Like], How can we have a relationship when you’re a vampire and I’m a werewolf? In season 2, we never really had to deal with that, but now in season 3 it’s an issue and one that we didn’t really see.”

Alisha adds, “Now we’re trying to deal with making sure everyone accepts us, and again, it’s a way to touch on a theme outside of the show in a non-political way.”

Shadowhunters airs Tuesdays on Freeform.
