Representation

 


- Quote from Netflix, "When it comes to black leading actors, directors, writers, and producers, they are representing, and it's not a moment, it's a movement."

- Netflix made a promise to represent black audiences authentically which hasn't always been Hollywood's priority. 

-The phrase #oscarssowhite was started in 2018 at the Oscars awards because for the second year in a row all 20 actors nominated for an Oscar award were white. 

- Some black actors boycotted the Oscars awards and demanded change, and this influenced the academy to promise to diversify in race and gender by 2020. 

-Apparently, it was said that Black Panther was proof that diversity sells making more than $700 million nationally and $1 Billion+ worldwide.
