Black Gay Brunch, Muslim Women in Film & TV and Hollywood’s New Push for Inclusive Networking

Disabled, Native American, Latinx and/or LGBTQIA and looking for a job? Check out the 14 diverse groups that have studios and agencies calling for hires: "Showrunners have reached out asking to see our lists."

Five months ago, THR ran a story about Black Women Who Brunch (BWB), a group created by writer-producers Lena Waithe (The Chi), Erika L. Johnson (Queen Sugar) and Nkechi Okoro Carroll (Bones) to help advance their underrepresented peers. "It's been unbelievable," says Carroll of the article's ripple effects. "I'm hearing from people that 'BWB inspired me.' I've had producers and presidents of networks reach out, 'Do you know if anyone in your group is looking to staff and at what level?''"

With streaming services spiking the need for creators and a rising imperative to reach undertapped demographics, people who might have felt like they were competing for the same few jobs are now more inclined to refer peers to projects and mentor assistants, often via networking groups. “It’s a relationship-based industry," says Nithya Raman, executive director of Time’s Up Entertainment, the arm devoted to raising the profile of people of color and LGBTQ talent through get-togethers. She adds: "Your next job depends on maintaining relationships.” Adds April Reign, the activist who created #OscarsSoWhite and who has hosted meetups herself: “This is a great way for artists and creatives to get together and find a sense of community."

It used to be they tried to find a wide audience for a project. Now, it’s nothing but agenda-driven crap. They wonder why they’re losing market share.

The twenty-first century is not working out the way I thought it would.

Nobody is going to watch that crap. Not even the fringe groups they’re targeted toward. It’s pointless PC posturing.
