I appreciate #RHAP for openly making space for new & diverse voices.
Minority perspectives in the Big Brother/Reality community have been massively overlooked & undervalued for years.
& Many in this community have encouraged meaningful conversation to try & broaden the scope... https://twitter.com/robcesternino/status/1273711941047836673">https://twitter.com/robcester...

The podcast ecosystem Rob has created is really Impressive & I appreciate that he& #39;s empowered so many people to use their voices in creative ways.
& as happy as I am to see doors being re-opened for (hopefully) more expansive dialogue, the timing of it is a bit troubling to me.

I mean, Aunt Jemima was retired yesterday...
It& #39;s taken a new age of trauma & activism to make people open their eyes & their hearts. That& #39;s a tough pill to swallow.
I welcome the discomfort, because change is never painless. I just want real shifts & not a reactionary change.

The conversation about how non-inclusive #RHAP is has been going on for longer than I& #39;ve been included.
That goes for the talent & the audience.
I hope that any diversification of their team is done in a very intentional & authentic way.
Tokenism is an easy pitfall.

Seeing people on the timeline celebrate them posting this has been so strange to me.
Let& #39;s see if they& #39;ve actually listened & provide a unique space before being loud & proud about it.
I know this is coming from a genuine place- but, Its just so easy to talk & not actually ~do.

Presenting a search for new talent & specifying "diverse" always brings out comments like the one below...
It& #39;s a red flag for me. Good Intention is clear, but the execution counts even moreso when you& #39;re trying to elevate a questioned situation. https://twitter.com/JonTheHammerHa/status/1273721380991668224?s=19">https://twitter.com/JonTheHam...

True diversity is building spaces where any & everyone can have a voice & not feel like they& #39;re a visitor.
I hope the people that join this ecosystem are more than just a voice for their specific communities.. I want there to be a big enough change, that the entire vibe shifts.

If that& #39;s not what you& #39;re going for, then please just keep it like it is.
Diversity is too often performative.. & when we allow ourselves to perform diversity, rather than doing the work to truly understand each other better-- we might as well be campaigning for segregation.

I& #39;ve had a lot of people send me the link this afternoon & tell me to apply.. so, instead of replying to people individually, I figured the best way was to address my concerns widely.
I hope the people at #RHAP talk to their constituents & really use their resources to expand.

Talk to your people & get real honest dialog about how & what to adjust.
Don& #39;t be afraid to have the conversations...Don& #39;t walk on eggshells... Don& #39;t mask it behind socially expected expectations.
I wanna see you step up & do the real work.

Empower people with real positions & don& #39;t just have them come sit in on a conversation for visibility.
& also, do it with care. Ease into it.
Optics are important.
Really care about the seeds you& #39;re sowing.
I& #39;m rooting for y& #39;all, @robcesternino!
Excited to watch you grow.
