For Variety, I wrote about #DunePartTwo being criticized for its lack of MENA inclusion and failure to contend with MENA influences and commentary on Western imperialism found in Frank Herbert's 1965 sci-fi classic, of which Denis Villeneuve's #Dune films are based on. ⬇️

MENA Arts Advocacy Coalition's original Acceleration Lab in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Access Programs is hopefully the first of many for MENA-SWANA artists to hone their craft and gain recognition in our industry. Thank you to our speakers and participants for coming together for an unforgettable day.

So PROUD of this lab we created with Warner Bros. Discovery Access Programs to spotlight 60 midlevel MENA/SWANA artists! A day of community & craft sharpening. MENA Arts Advocacy Coalition was created 7 yrs ago when I was told I was white under DEI, today that’s changed! Here’s to growth, change, creation & collaboration!

Nice to see #MENA in the main graphics Annenberg Inclusion Initiative latest data drop. Sad to see we are, once again, in the bottom 3 of on screen female speaking characters in the top 100 #films of 2023
