This year s Academy Awards features a record-breaking number of nominees for actors of color. But diversity in entertainment isn t just about the actors we see on screen â it s also about the stories they get to tell.
Ammanuel Zegeye, a partner at McKinsey & Co. said, I think there s still some exciting developments from the Oscars, but there s still a long way to go across the board. Both on screen and off, Black talent is pigeonholed and funneled to race-related content, according to a study from the BlackLight Collective and McKinsey & Co. consulting group. Researchers say this can reinforce stereotypes about Black communities as well as serve as another barrier for artists of color.
