Our lives are intersectional, and so our media should reflect that. Our media, what we create in Hollywood, needs to service the people who consume it, and people who consume it are mostly people of people of color,” she told TheWrap editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman during Monday’s keynote conversation at Be Conference 2020. “Hispanics, we over-index at the movie theater,” the actress, director, producer and activist said. “That’s still one of the cheapest forms of entertainment we can do for families, more so than a baseball game or an NBA game. Movies are still the most affordable things we can do, and the same thing for the Black community — they really support their films and television, so why aren’t we serving these communities? It’s not a moral responsibility, it’s an economic choice. It’s the smart thing to do.” See Video: Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Madison Bailey on the Importance of Positivity in Queer Representation Longoria briefly touched on...
