What does being a minority business, or supporting minority businesses, mean to you?
Being a minority business is an honor! Particularly in my field of media, we get to shape the narratives and conversations about our community and the world in a responsible and authentic way. The whole reason I focused my business on this area of the industry is that we get to help create an equitable space for all creators of color and other marginalized individuals before we have to experience another #OscarsSoWhite. It truly is a privilege to work with other minority businesses to create the landscape that will allow talent to rise to the top—without the barriers to entry that plague so many different forms of media.
