About this listen
Hollywood loves Black culture—the music, the slang, the aesthetics—but when it comes to truly celebrating Black wins, the support gets real quiet. In this episode, I break down how Hollywood continues to tokenize Black actors and directors while refusing to see us as fully human. From limiting roles that box us into slaves, drug dealers, and hyper sexualized stereotypes, to the unspoken demand for white validation, this industry thrives on our creativity but resists our elevation. I also highlight disruptors like Ryan Coogler, who are changing the game by refusing to conform to Hollywood’s racist frameworks and instead centering Black stories with power, depth, and dignity. This is a conversation about systemic racism, representation, and why our wins are still treated as threats.
