Acho received his first Emmy Award for “Outstanding Short Form Non-fiction or Reality Series” in 2021. He attended the Emmys wearing a suit that honored Blacks lives lost due to violence, hatred and racial crimes. The names were embedded within the suit as the actual pinstripe design. Some of those names included Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Philando Castile. Ancho stated on Instagram, “…While I wear their names as stripes on a suit, they exist daily in my mind and my heart. The work is not done.”
