An independent McKinsey study co-sponsored by the McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Empowerment, the entertainment industry is among the worst performers on DEI of any major American industry. #CAAAmplify

The other thing I want to point out to many Black creatives that are being approached right now is that many of you will be the only black person hired to work on large projects. Do NOT be afraid to point out that you will need an assistant, researcher, writer, producer, etc. and
to work that into your budget. Then hire freelancers to help you. #HighlanderSyndrome
And don’t forget, “Highlander Syndrome” when it comes to diversity in creative spaces still exists. Establish support systems outside of your office or discipline so you won’t go crazy dealing with being alone. #HighlanderSyndrome
