LATEST DIVERSITY NEWS
New York Post
"There's gonna be racism everywhere I go, and some of it's more subtle, some of it's less malicious. I mean, every day there's guys with certain stereotypes or whatever, and it's not just me. But yeah, I still go through it."
Media Life Magazine
One of the major mistakes many general market media agencies make is lumping Hispanics into one big category. You can't. They hail from many countries, and while they may speak a common language, they have different backgrounds, different experiences and even different dialects.
USA Today
Arriving on Netflix Sept. 30, Cage is the story of a man given super-strength and unbreakable skin by a scientific experiment gone wrong. That we've seen, in various forms, a hundred times. What makes this latest Marvel TV series new is that the hero is an African-American man, living his life in modern day Harlem.
Broadcasting & Cable
Martin Luther King III, one of the founders of Bounce TV, will participate in the conversation, along with an invited audience representing a diverse and broad range of community and civic leaders, the network said

Deadline
At a time when there's much contention and strain surrounding Hollywood for its lack of diversity, I'm proud to be on the side that's breaking barriers
