Talking about choosing Big Brothers Big Sisters as his charity, Jackson said his dad as a mentor inspired him to choose the NGO as Golden Globes’ first Black male ambassador.
In an Instagram post, Spike Lee even spoke about his children being chosen as Golden Globe Ambassadors. Along with a picture of Satchel and Jackson, Lee wrote, “Tonya And I Are Very Proud Of Our Grown Children Satchel And Jackson To Be The Ambassadors For Tonight's Golden Globe Awards. However, The Hollywood Foreign Press Must Understand That Diversity Is Needed Amongst Their Voting Members. As Buggin' Out Said "Put Some Brothas (And Sistas) Up On Da Wall". Good Luck To All The Nominees”.
Satchel and Jackson’s chosen charities will receive a grant of 25,000 from the HFPA. HFPA stands for Hollywood Foreign Press Association and chooses the winners every year. Before Spike Lee’s children, Edirs Alba’s daughter Isan Elba, Pierce Brosnan’s sons Dylan and Paris Brosnan, and Jamie Foxx’s Corinne Foxx have been Golden Globe Ambassadors.
