Creating a theater and film environment with more inclusiveness and diversity involves learning about diverse performers, designers, directors, and writers. The individuals we will highlight have made an impact in the theater and film world while embracing their race and culture. Whether that be working on famous shows, earning awards, or being greatly admired for their talent, these people embraced their diversity and represented great success in their field.
