1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:02,129
- Until we are in the board
room or in the C-suite,

2
00:00:02,129 --> 00:00:04,760
the conversation around
inclusiveness is more

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,635
of a bandaid that doesn't
squarely address the real issues.

4
00:00:07,635 --> 00:00:10,135
(light music)

5
00:00:20,611 --> 00:00:22,440
- What motivates me the most is being able

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,080
to provide opportunities for
other black-owned companies

7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:27,600
and black suppliers throughout my career.

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,050
The ability to consistently
uplift other companies

9
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:32,400
and businesses with people who
look like me has been a part

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,571
of my mission since day
one in this business.

11
00:00:34,571 --> 00:00:37,071
(light music)

12
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:40,980
We have made a lot of progress in 2020

13
00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:42,530
because of the protests.

14
00:00:42,530 --> 00:00:44,610
But what would make me
more optimistic is if

15
00:00:44,610 --> 00:00:47,160
we had more participation from outside

16
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,120
of the black community,

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,970
from other communities of color.

18
00:00:49,970 --> 00:00:54,260
Universal support for inclusivity
is required to progress.

19
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:56,090
Frankly, we still have a long way to go.

20
00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:58,220
Until we are in the board
room or in the C-suite,

21
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:01,790
the conversation around
inclusiveness is more of a bandaid

22
00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:04,030
that doesn't squarely
address the real issues.

23
00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:05,930
We need more executives on the boards

24
00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:08,399
for corporate entertainment
and in the C-suite.

25
00:01:08,399 --> 00:01:10,899
(light music)

26
00:01:12,460 --> 00:01:15,780
Diversity, equity and inclusion
is always been a problem

27
00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:16,660
in Hollywood.

28
00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:21,033
Until the studios and the
networks decide to include us

29
00:01:21,033 --> 00:01:23,912
in the board room and at the C-suite,

30
00:01:23,912 --> 00:01:26,500
we will not have true diversity.

31
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:29,330
And we have made progress in front

32
00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:30,878
of the camera in terms of talent,

33
00:01:30,878 --> 00:01:35,090
but we still fail to make
progress behind the camera

34
00:01:35,090 --> 00:01:36,500
and in the boardroom.
