-
my experience when it comes to
-
disability being included in the
conversation
-
about inclusivity has been that in
-
general it hasn't been
-
It's only recently that it's really start
-
to move the needle on me, you do a lot of
-
work with sag-aftra in issues
around of diversity
-
and inclusivity and I got a say that
-
the performance of disability to me
has done
-
phenomenal work in moving the
needle in
-
getting this conversation
happening in the industry,
-
its amazing how much energy
-
it takes to get that big old bolder role
-
in just an inch and they've done that
-
and it's starting to move now
-
It's actually starting to role
-
and people have that in conversation
-
cause-ahh-causepeople
-
I think what Iam most excited
about right now
-
is that so many people are talking about
-
equality and inclusivity and
-
they are trying to make sure that
nobody get's left out
-
and so when you point out
-
to somebody that you are leaving out
-
the 20% of the population
-
they pay attention, they wake up
-
and so that to me has been, I think it's
-
not been nearly as hard a converstion
-
as it would have been 10-15 years ago
-
people suddenly go, oh ! you are right
-
I haven't been thinking about that
-
i have'nt been including performance
of the disabilities in my projects,
-
I haven't been hiring writers
with disabilities
-
I haven't been looking for producer
-
so the simple fact that is being pointed
-
out to them in a sometimes in the
-
shaming way but sometimes in the
-
this action will help improve your
bottom line
-
because people always wanna see
themselves on camera
-
and this doesn't always either be
the point
-
in fact sometimes it's most powerful win
-
yo, what you see a person on camera with a
-
disability and it's not the point of
the story
-
that's happening more and more
it's not happening enough
-
but lets be clear
but it's happening more
-
cause you know at the end of
the day
-
I think people are starting to
realize that if you
-
say you stand for a quality, it's got
be a quality across the board
-
It can't be just quality for people
that look look like me
-
or my gender,or think like me, or
love like me
-
It's gotta be a quality for everybody
-
either you fight for everybody or
you really just fighting for yourself
-
and people like you
-
so I think that's the message that's
gotta get out there more and more
-
I think, It's out there that simple
note of
-
don't forget about these folks
-
who are by the way is the biggest
population
-
of people that are forgotten in the
country
