Much needed! It is indeed a formidable tool to highlight such useful and important data.

I can’t recommend this brilliant Language Matters newsletter, from the equally amazing Sadia Siddiqui, highly enough. This months is all about ‘What do I call people who aren't white? 'Non-white' can't be right, right?’ Sadia puts a huge amount of time, thought and research into each months topic. Crafting each piece that is, to me, frequently really enlightening and also allows us to question why we may have thought certain words and phrases were appropriate. After all folks, language matters! #Diversityandinclusion #languagematters

I’m excited to announce a report I co-authored that was published today – Latinos in Hollywood: Amplifying voices, expanding horizons. Our research uncovered how improving on-and off screen representation of Latinos, their stories and their culture, could bring about billions of dollars in new review for the industry, upwards of 12-18 billion in additional opportunity. Throughout the research we uncovered the mismatch of Latino representation in filmed media, where <5% of key roles are given to Latinos, even when Latinos account for 24% of the industry’s revenue. Among other things, this results in a narrow portrayal of the Latino experience in film & TV, showing Latinos in a diluted and non-authentic way, and even continuing stereotypes. More representation in key business and creative roles would not only provide new opportunities to Latinos to succeed in the industry, but would help show the full range of cultures that this community represents.

A special thank you to my co-authors and our broader team for their continued dedication to bringing the research to life over the course of over 18 months of research.

Got the day off for Juneteenth but not sure what it's all about? No worries, it's never too late to learn and appreciate this significant day in American history. Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It’s a day of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equality. Here’s how you can make the most of your day: 1. Learn the History: Dive into books like “On Juneteenth” by Annette Gordon-Reed or watch documentaries to understand its significance. 2. Support Black-Owned Businesses: Make a meaningful impact by dining at Black-owned restaurants or shopping at Black-owned stores. 3. Join Local Celebrations: Participate in parades, festivals, and educational events to engage with the community. 4. Reflect and Educate Others: Share what you’ve learned on social media and spark conversations about the importance of Juneteenth. Juneteenth is more than a day off—it's an opportunity to reflect on the past, understand the present, and commit to a more equitable future. Let’s honor this day by learning, supporting, and celebrating together. #Juneteenth #History #Equality #Community #Education #SupportBlackBusinesses

As one of the most important sources of news for millions of Latinos in the U.S., Univision bears a special responsibility to challenge and hold accountable politicians of both parties around their language, policies, and positions, and how they impact our families and neighborhoods.     We, along with Mi Familia Vota, Hispanic Federation, Voto Latino, and Latino Victory Project, are asking to meet with Univision’s top executives to discuss this important issue.

Black news consumers think local reporters do a better job of covering Black communities than the national media, according to a recent study from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Black leaders in South Florida's media landscape say that's because Black news organizations — and also Black reporters at mainstream outlets — understand the local issues better and are less likely to engage in tired tropes and racist stereotypes than national journalists. An earlier Pew study found that Black Americans are more likely than people of other races or ethnicities to closely follow local news. https://lnkd.in/gEzwJRzV
