We want to be clear. Black lives matter. And Black media matters. Racism is rampant in the industries that EASL covers – entertainment, art, and sports.

One way that we, as a community and as individuals, can tell these entertainment industries that we want Black voices to be heard, that we want Black stories to be told, that we want Black cast and crew members to be included and respected, is to play the game that Hollywood and other media industries live by – the numbers game. Simply put, the more viewers, the more successful media is, the more likely similar media gets made.
