Louisa Jacobson Shares Valentine’s Day Plans with Partner Anna (Exclusive)

Louisa Jacobson is sharing how she’ll be spending Valentine’s Day this year!

The actress, 33, spoke with PEOPLE at a dinner for the Human Rights Campaign earlier this month. As she prepares to spend Valentine’s Day with her partner Anna Blundell, Jacobson says they plan to do one of her favorite things.

“I’m going dancing on Valentine’s Day!” she says, noting that she like any music that is “just fun techno house.”

Jacobson was also honored by the HRC, which is the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) civil rights organization. She recieved the Visibility Award for her representation of the LGBTQ+ community both on and off-screen and emphasized the importance of being your authentic self in her acceptance speech.

“To be visible is to be vulnerable,” she said. “Unfortunately, vulnerability is often seen as a weakness. But in truth, it’s one of the most powerful tools that we have for connection.”

She continued: “As an actor, I’ve learned that the most powerful performances happen when the actor allows themselves to be revelatory — when they drop the mask and stand in the raw truth of who they are. It’s the same in life.”

“The moments where we drop the mask, and allow ourselves to be seen, those are the moments when we truly connect with others,” The Gilded Age star concluded.

Reflecting on her journey with her sexuality, Jacobson told PEOPLE that she was grateful to have “so much support.”

“It means everything to be honored,” she gushed. “I am so, so grateful and thankful to the HRC. I was surprised because I had only recently come out. It’s such a brilliant opportunity to speak about visibility and what it means to this community and what it means to me.”

“I am so lucky that work in the industry that I do,” she added. “That I’m in a community of artists who also identify as LGBTQ so it’s just a warm, lovely welcome that I am blessed to have and I don’t take that for granted.”

The daughter of Meryl Streep and Don Gummer publicly came out by making her relationship with Blundell Instagram official in June.

“blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍🌈,” she wrote in the caption.
