This list compiles names of casting directors and producers of colors who are doing the work to make change. BIPOC students do not have to go into the room and try to be anything or prove themselves to white producers. They should be able to see themselves behind the table. As we work on equity and inclusion think about who is behind the table. Discuss what can be done to create change. How can we create equitable and representative spaces for BIPOC students not just on the stage but behind the table as well? This list makes it known that BIPOC students can be producers and can be casting directors. There is room for us all at the table.
