For Variety VIP+ subscribers: Replay our insightful webinar on Black representation in Hollywood, with guests Jade Cargill, Robyn Mowatt, Kalani Rodgers and Chantel Riley
, how opportunities for Black talent aren’t equal and the role of gatekeepers in ensuring authentic stories make it to the screen. Some of the unique perspectives are below, but for those intrigued by the topic, do click above to view the entire webinar. There are not enough Black entertainers in stunt doubling. They’ve had to color a couple of stunt doubles a completely different shade to play characters.
It didn’t really affect people as much until we started learning they were making money from it, and so now you have these people creating lots of content and culture, and it’s being taken from them. When we speak up, we’re told it’s not that big of a deal — it doesn’t matter, you should be thankful others are recognizing your stuff. No one recognized this was people taking from content and not putting that credit back into what Black people deserve.
Another thing I’ve noticed is the difference between when Black content creators blow up or get viral versus white ones. I’ve seen numerous people that have blown up for very small things they didn’t even really mean to blow up, and they’re getting invited to movie premieres and having brand deals. It’s just completely different access that they’re given when they blow up versus Black people I’ve seen go viral for so long and don’t even have a blue check on their name [on Twitter].
These were just some of the notable moments from the webinar. Among the other areas covered are the importance of Black-focused studios , how stereotypes keep getting propagated in entertainment, why there’s a need for Black people to write their own stories and how Jade Cargill pushed back on her onscreen portrayal to have a more positive representation even when playing a “bad” character.
