Roku is committed to reflecting the diversity of our audience in our stories and content. Guided by this focus, our team attended the LA Latino International Film Festival (#LALIFF), a vibrant celebration of Latino life through film, television, digital media, music, and art. 💜 🎞️ 🎨 With five days of screenings, masterclasses, panels, and performances, our team was deeply inspired by the incredible talent and passion at the festival. ✨ • Mariana D'Andrea, Co-Chair of #SomosRokuERG, shared: "Participating in LALIFF 2024 was truly inspiring. The films were phenomenal, emotionally impactful, and the passion for storytelling and cultural heritage was palpable." • Andrea Mena, added: "The content was culturally relevant and authentic. I appreciated the industry panels that hosted creators from both the U.S. and Latin America, and how LALIFF partners with youth programs to expose them to the industry early on." • Ana Cecilia Cuevas, Co-Chair of #SomosRoku, highlighted: "LALIFF was an enriching opportunity for Roku. It was great to see major entertainment players and the creative community representing Hispanic/Latino audiences." At #Roku, supporting events like LALIFF helps us better understand and celebrate our diverse audience. Here's to many more opportunities to learn, grow, and celebrate together! #WeAreRoku ⭐ 👏

The support people showed for each other was incredible, and it was amazing to see our community come together to celebrate and spotlight a minority group.” ✨   As we close out Pride Month, we are reflecting on and celebrating the strength in our diversity. 🙌 Let’s continue supporting and uplifting each other, fostering a welcoming environment for all, every single day. 🏳️🌈 💜 #WeAreRoku

Belonging, for me, means freedom of expression through speech, style of dress, way of thinking, and language, as well as connecting with colleagues about life outside of work. To me, this is also a form of work-life balance, and this balance helps maintain our authenticity. As an ally, I strive to welcome everyone as they are.”     Together, we make Roku a vibrant and inclusive workplace. 🏳️🌈 ✨   #WeAreRoku #PrideMonth #RokuPride #RokuSpotlight
