Great article by Yasmin Arrigo on the deprioritisation of #DEI in #ADland - please read and share! At Brixton Finishing School we've experienced this in the last 12 months, alongside many other #changemaking organisations, a #stealth defunding of commitments to #DEI leaving us with a budget deficit last year. We took this #crisis as an opportunity to reflect, reframe and recommit to our mission - to create fair, accessible industry access for all talents and to then support them to thrive, not survive when they arrive. Thank you to all who advocated for us - we really value and appreciate your efforts! #2024 is our year of serenity and we will not deviate from our mission - we will gracefully keep, keeping on, driving change. Talent is distrubuted equally but opportunities are not. To supercharge change long term commitment to impactful change making projects is needed. It’s vital that the industry leans in and support our (and other organisations) efforts. MEFA CEO, Naren Patel, decided to launch the Media For All [MEFA] awards when a recent survey indicated that businesses were experiencing “DEI fatigue” ; they were under so much pressure that diversity and inclusion were taking a back seat. #DEI departments have been disbanded at #tech companies (Source: WordinBlack.com) And by December 2023 open calls for divestment were heard - with Elon Musk declaring on X ‘DEI must Die’. Dear Industry, your busy day job is serving your clients and their consumers - our day job is supporting multiple communities with many intersectionalities to win at the world of work. So please, reach out to third party experts who can make authentic inclusion a reality for you - it’s not going to happen if it’s not a future proofed commitment. 

Okay, character animation and hand-drawn techniques? Those were never my strong suit. Makes me extra appreciative of animators who make it look amazing, especially those who bring much-needed representation to the screen. I'm committed to exposing more, exceptional people of colour in the creative and tech industries. Wesley Louis, Director and Co-Founder of, the BAFTA-nominated, The Line Animation Studio serves as an great example in the world of Character animation. I'm so inspired by his studio’s work, and his commitment to creating hand drawn art and animation art featuring Black people on his insta. The studio’s work is DOPE. Check out The  “AMARO AND WALDEN - Joyride" music video.  https://lnkd.in/eNtEEtZK It's a brilliant mashup of 2D animation layered over real-world footage.  The characters are so well done and feel so alive, their personalities and energy jump out of the screen. I honestly forget I'm not watching real people!  The attention to detail in animation of the characters brings them to life.  The music is banging, and the candid style really draws you in.  The animators' skill in bringing this story to life with the existing footage is incredible.  Pure magic where tech and analogue meet. #animation #2Danimation #characteranimation #musicvideos #creativity #tech #BAFTA #representationmatters #Blackcreatives

"Harry Potter". You will hardly find anyone who doesn't know who Harry Potter is. But did you know Harry Potter's magical journey began on a train ride from Manchester to London? J.K. Rowling's amazing world started with a lightning bolt of inspiration. Even though she faced rejection and people telling her to get a regular job, Rowling kept going. She's a single mom who faced tough times, but her love for storytelling kept her pushing forward. Then, Bloomsbury, a small London publisher, saw something special in Rowling's work. They took a chance on her, not expecting the huge success that followed. Now, J.K. Rowling is not just famous; she is an inspiration. Her Harry Potter series has sold more than 500 million copies. The Harry Potter series has become a global sensation, from books to movies, merchandise, and theme parks. So, the next time you feel down or face challenges, think of J.K. Rowling. Believe in your own magic, stay strong, and who knows? You might create your own success story. #BelieveInYourMagic #Resilience #SuccessStory #HarryPotterMagic

Unfortunately, today we live in a world where perception is reality. However, we have the individual responsibility to distinguish ourselves from this falsehood. Choose the alternatives for yourself and the agency you represent and grow your brand, vision, attitude, and above all your team! #RochesterFire #GrowthChangeResillence #CulturalCompetency #DeversityEquityInclusion
