In the season 3 debut, Cortney sits down with actress Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor about her new film, Origin, written and directed by Ava DuVernay. Cortney and Aunjanue have an honest conversation about the origins of hate and inhumanity on and off the screen, including why she believes Origin is not getting a fair shake in Hollywood despite the film's crucial global message.
The Oscar-nominated actress shares what it took to bring Isabel Wilkerson’s story to life while illuminating the weighty themes of her award-winning book “Caste: The Origin of our Discontents.” Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor also weighs in on her own experience with pay inequality in Hollywood.
Acting Up is all about Black Hollywood, who's making noise, who's making a difference, and how they're moving the needle regarding representation.
Cortney Wills has forged deep connections with creatives, actors, directors, producers, writers, executives, and the real decision-makers who shape how our community is represented onscreen, giving Acting Up access to the inner workings of Hollywood.

Description: In 2020, the authorities at the Louisiana State Penitentiary (better known as Angola, for the former plantation on which it stands) shut down a play in the middle of a performance. What happened in that audience of incarcerated men that got guards so concerned? That’s the subject of “Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison," (2023 Oscar Short-Listed) a new MTV documentary directed and edited by Cinque Northern (My Name is Pauli Murray) and produced by Catherine Gund. Award-winning actress and writer, Liza Jessie Peterson, (HBO’s Def Poetry, Ava Duvernay’s 13th), whose one-woman show was shut down that day, and Norris Henderson, a former inmate who'd worked with her to bring the show, join Laura to reflect on the intersection of art and politics, incarceration and economics, and the work of VOTE, the criminal justice reform group Henderson founded upon his release. What difference can a play make? Watch and see.

I had a conversation this week with a very kind senior DEI leader who wanted to help me help the company. They gave me some words to say that they thought might help get buy-in from the boss. This person encouraged me to pitch our Inclusive 360 Assessment as an “organizational improvement methodology”, not DEI. Our future work together as “change management”, not DEI.
All of this is true because our assessment examines the systems for gaps in equity and inclusion. What it delivers is a roadmap for meaningful systemic change and organizational improvement.
Not DEI. I’ve found that a lot of the organizations I speak to aren’t quite invested enough for “organizational improvement”, beyond changing the way they hire. We deliver a lot of workshops and keynotes to help establish that readiness, but those workshops are mostly about behavior change. About people. While that’s great, I know that will only move the needle so far.
Lily Zheng recently wrote about this in HBR – To Avoid DEI Backlash, Focus on Changing Systems — Not People. Organizational improvement, change management, systemic change, whatever you want to call it. We’re here for it.
Have you found that you've had to change your messaging around DEI to get buy-in?
Here are the good vibes I found this week:\

Welcome to Season 2 of Snubs & Dubs! This season we are covering the 87th Academy Awards, featuring the films of 2014.
For Episode 16, we are talking about the next Best Picture nominee of the season, Ava DuVernay's Selma. Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegregated the South, discrimination was still rampant in certain areas, making it very difficult for Blacks to register to vote. In 1965, an Alabama city became the battleground in the fight for suffrage. Despite violent opposition, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his followers pressed forward on an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, and their efforts culminated with President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The Beached White Male Podcast welcomes Scott Young, Creator and President of Culture Connection and the former Director of the City of Angels Film Festival. Ken likes to call Scott the Professor of Cinema. Scott asserts that we are at the end of the "print culture" and we've become a "culture of moving images." Movie images are today's "lingua franca." Some see movies for entertainment or escape, others to process the challenges of their lives - or to enrich. Ken shares four films that have shaped and enriched his life - One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Beautiful Mind, Dead Poet Society, and Belfast. Scott shares his list: Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, and Nightmare Alley. As we finished Black History Month, Scott features world-class directors who are also people of color, including Ava DuVernay and When They See Us - the story of the Central Park Five (also known for the award-winning Selma). Charles Burnett produced the film Killer of Sheep (1978) as an MFA film student at UCLA - the story of life in South Central Los Angeles. Gregory Nava's film Selena with a young Jennifer Lopez with Edward James Olmos, the story of a rising Latin singer who reached the pinnacle of stardom and then tragically murdered at age twenty-three. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu directed “Babel" (2006), a collection of stories with Kate Blanchett and Brad Pitt. Rooted in the biblical story of Babel, the stories and the images come together making a powerful punch. Scott ends by sharing some practical advice on how to watch a movie.
