Defining Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Entertainment
The Reimagine Coalition, a group of prominent advocacy organizations, reached out to 60 DEIA executives in entertainment to understand how the values of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility are defined within their corporate policies and procedures. Gold House played a key part in synthesizing key takeaways from the outreach, as well as providing recommendations to help unify our understanding and elevate the pursuit of such values in the entertainment industry.
