Diversity in storytelling and entertainment today is defined by the necessity of creative material to reflect the identity of its audience through the depiction of diverse lead characters and/or the diverse subject matter of creative material.  This event is a prequel to six Sunday Pavilion events next year on rotating industry themes and the launch of our monthly Diversity Dais speaker series.
