Between Conversations and Practices: Racial Inclusion in the Creative Industry

Biodom Diversidade e Inclusão Creator Economy

Inciativas que promovem e exaltam as vocações étnico-raciais do Brasil têm sido catalisadores poderosos de diálogos sobre inclusão e diversidade. Mas, entre conversas e práticas, há longos caminhos. Para que mudanças reais sejam realizadas na nossa sociedade é preciso intencionalidade nas ações. Na indústria criativa, isso não é diferente. Nesse sentido, oportunidades criativas de impactar e engajar podem inspirar os próximos motores de transformação. Ao discutir abordagens do poder público, privado, agências e players podemos expandir as formas como tratamos do assunto e aprender mutuamente. É preciso evitar o retrocesso e abrir mais caminhos individuais e coletivos rumo à equidade que queremos ao nosso redor.
