Been thinking hard abt this. I returned 2 wk in film after spending a yr researching inequity in the industry + wider arts just as Covid hit. what things I read + ppl I spoke 2 advocated 4 have become easier 2 communicate to ppl who never had to consider inequality before but .. https://twitter.com/khankfarza/status/1247806283819839488

Even tho it might make sense to people right now, there's still gaps in understanding if u haven't done work to learn + unlearn ways we all benefit in diff ways from how the industry is structured when we participate+without that learnedness we risk going back 2 business as usual

So I've decide 2 offer some 'Teach Ins' based on my research + experience of being a POC in the film industry, of having tried to assimilate (and failing) + of realising that reform, rebuilding and investment in relationships of care are infinitely more impt than being 'included'

If that resonates with you and you would like to connect with others who are invested in exploring how we contribute to reforming and rebuilding so things DON'T go back to normal (because normal never served most people) then email me jemmadesai@gmail.com
