Active Listening: How Diversity Has Impacted the Entertainment Industry

Moderator: Eddie Rhodman, Jr.

Panelists: Breion Moses, Latashia DeVeaux, Marissa Wallace, and Pamela Chinawah.

The Fyli Tribe joined together to celebrate Diversity in Entertainment. We heard from top creative and business talent extending across cultures. The conversation touched base on culture, religion, experience, skills sets and gender. We heard unique perspectives on how diversity has impacted industries such as film and music, plus the value and impact it has played on creativity and productivity. All donations received were split between Seven Hillz Foundation & BPRS-LA Foundation.
