From an early age, I had always known that I had to change the world. I never knew what I would do to change it, but when I found film, I recognized that I had found a driving force to provoke change. When I first began studying film as a freshman in high school, I was always taught that I would be unable to fully thrive in the film industry due to my race. As an African American woman this agonized my soul because in film, colored people have been dehumanized/ misrepresented. I think that it is dire to diversify the film industry because it can fill the void in the film industry.
Periodically, in the film industry, people of color are portrayed, but there is a lack of behind the scenes work. I find it ironic how there are thousands of people
