Diversity in US entertainment, 25 years ago, meant seeing African American and Latinos on screen. No one looked like me, a South Asian kid born and raised just outside of Chicago. Today, both the business and creative side of the industry has evolved, allowing folks like me to spring from the decades long 'other' category, to collaborate alongside traditional leaders to advance a more inclusive narrative. Much work is still needed, and I stand with those who make it their personal responsibility to foster opportunities that reflect today's America.
