The recent documentary "Black Barbie" struck a chord with me. I laughed, I cried, I felt seen. It was D-O-P-E!!! 💖 🗣 It's a powerful reminder of why having diverse voices at decision-making tables is critical. Growing up, I rarely saw Black Barbies, and that subtly (or not so subtly) shaped my perception of beauty. It sent a message that the standard was long blonde hair and blue eyes, a standard I inherently knew I didn't and would never meet. It sent a subtle message about who was worthy and who wasn't. For too long, I've navigated spaces where I felt like they were exclusive clubs. This experience extends far beyond toys. It's a reflection of the need for POC representation in decision-making roles across industries. We bring unique perspectives that can completely transform products, marketing, and the overall brand narrative. This documentary highlights the profound impact representation has, even in something as seemingly simple as a doll. It resonated with me, but clearly, countless other Black women share this experience. This is why I became an entrepreneur. I craved a space where my voice mattered, where the table wasn't just for those who looked a certain way. "Black Barbie" is a call to action. It reminds us of the work still needed. But for those of us fortunate enough to have a seat at the table, let's use it to ensure the room reflects the beautiful diversity of the world we live in. Kudos and Thank You - Shondaland Did you see it yet? Let me know what you think. #representationmatters #diversityandinclusion #blackexcellence #entrepeneruherlife

Since it's now the spooky season, here's a review for Get Out: It was Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, a surprise blockbuster that experimented with what can be considered entertainment in a post #BlackLivesMatter world. Peele got the idea to make this movie when everyone started to believe racism was over after Obama became president, and this idea resulted in a motion picture that provides commentary on serious topics while still being fun entertainment for the masses. Peele pulls that off with the ways he orchestrates the audience’s fear; there are the familiar cinematic elements such as shaky cam, dark lighting, extreme closeups, and creepy music, but this steps it up with its treatment of the “Sunken Place,” which represents the metaphorical place people from minority groups cannot speak because White supremacists have marginalized them. It’s also worth mentioning how, unlike other horror films, the characters here use common sense to get out of danger, which gives it the needed layer of authenticity and credibility to the way it represents what it’s like being Black in an all-White setting. There’s really so much that Get Out will change about the entire movie industry, but the biggest change will be its evidence that movies about Blackness could indeed do great critically and financially, even when marketed to a primarily White audience. That in turn will open the door for more talented artists who are outside the racial majority and are in the most overdue need of attention. https://lnkd.in/g6jMcpDy

**New Blog Post** What Taylor Swift Can Teach Us About Estate Planning Regardless of your feelings about her music, her attendance at National Football League games, or anything else related to the popstar, it’s hard to argue that Taylor Swift isn’t a cultural phenomenon. In 2023, Taylor launched a multi-city tour that broke records for attendance, sales, merchandising, and gross revenue; the Federal Reserve credited her with boosting the country’s economy; and Time magazine named her Person of the Year. Often, blogs about celebrities focus on what went wrong, here, it’s about what went right. Keep reading here: https://lnkd.in/eR-mDkU

Let's unpack this! Today, consumers are demanding TV, advertising, and film with characters that look like them, but behind the scenes Black creatives are not being given the same opportunities to shape the narratives that are being told on screen. It's great to see characters on our screens that represent us, but oftentimes, characters don't resonate because they're written by people outside of the communities that they are meant to represent. We're changing the advertising industry by connecting Black producers and directors with brands who want to do more than just say they care about inclusivity. Our work is for brands who want to create meaningful advertising that truly represents the audience it's speaking to. We're INVISIBLE. And we're here to be seen. #blackdirectors #inclusiveadvertising #DEI

Insightful read, Diversity in leadership. As Shannon Washington stated, “You don’t have to have all the answers,” said Washington. “There’s power in the words ‘I don’t know’ because it leaves me open to understanding and learning more. It sets a boundary that we haven’t always embraced in this industry.” #diversity #diversityandinclusion #leadership #creativity Link to read article: https://lnkd.in/eac2QzdG

true story: I did NOT want to do the Black Madison Avenue series, at first. I have always had a complicated relationship with speaking out regarding DEI issues, for a variety of reasons to include the fact that deciphering 'quality vs quantity' in that space has become harder post 2020. Also, Walter T Geer III gets on my nerves, like any big/little brother does! But in hindsight, pushing through the fear of speaking up and out among six brilliant minds that I didn't know was something that EYE needed to do to become the leader I wanted to be. A big thank you to Paul Hiebert and ADWEEK for taking the time to connect the dots with me for their 'Lessons Learned' series. We are all rewriting an old playbook with new moves, and radical candidness is one of them, plus some other things I discussed with Paul. Cheers!

CEO at REVOLT. Building the world’s most powerful Black storytelling engine on the planet. Powered by creators.
How do you convey your heartfelt gratitude to an exceptional team and an incredible alliance of cultural partners who birthed an idea that’s never existed before (a theme park celebrating the richness of Black culture)? How can you adequately express your appreciation to those daring advertisers that ventured to invest in a mere vision etched on a piece of paper? And how do you find words to articulate your deepest thanks to a global icon who ignites a fire within within every team he leads to dream on an unprecedented scale? The truth is, words alone cannot capture the magnitude of the gratitude. So, instead, we place our bets on the outcome, demonstrating that every ounce of effort and every resource invested has not been in vain. This past weekend, that’s exactly what we did. And we won — all of us. Together. To those advertisers who use "lack of inventory” as a pretext for their reluctance to invest in Black-owned media, I would simply say: You’re not being creative enough. As an example, one month ago, REVOLT WORLD was a mere concept, and today it is poised to resonate with millions across the globe. The achievement was made possible by a select few brands that were willing to envision the boundless potential of the future with us. To each and every one of you, our profound thanks.
