Lifewtr and Häagen-Dazs Amplify Marginalized Voices Through Hollywood Partnerships
May 12, 2021
Last year, there was much discussion about what constituted “real action” when it came to businesses taking a stand against systemic bias. Supportive corporate social media messages are nice and all, but genuine change requires opportunities for marginalized voices to be heard and shared. Some consumer brands are now working to bring more of these stories and talents to light, with the help of some of Hollywood’s biggest storytellers.
This spring, Issa Rae and Lena Waithe are partnering with Lifewtr and Häagen-Dazs, respectively, to support underrepresented artists both in front of and behind the camera.

Staying true to her stance on “rooting for everybody Black,” writer/actress/producer Issa Rae recently teamed up with LIFEWTR to launch a campaign focused on amplifying the voice of diverse creators.
The initiative titled “LIFE UNSEEN” presents a new platform that identifies the lack of diversity in the creative industry while working to uplift 20 diverse creatives across the spectrum of fashion, film, music, and visual arts,

“As a creative and an avid consumer, I’ve witnessed firsthand how bias flows through fashion, film, music, visual arts and other creative territories,” Rae said in a press release. LIFEWTR understands that creativity literally doesn’t exist without diversity of culture, perspective and interpretation. Together, we’re inviting everyone to help shine a light so the work of unseen artists can be seen.”
