Expanding the Black Narrative

Over the past few decades, we have seen very little movement in TV and Hollywood to embrace storytelling that depicts the Black experience in a modern context, free from tropes and stereotypes. While there have been breakthroughs and an increased frequency of Black content, are we truly making progress relative to our profound impact on pop and world culture? This panel, moderated by Chief Brand Officer of MACRO, Stacey Walker King, will feature filmmakers Coodie and Chike as they discuss the future of Black storytelling, what defines a Black story, and the steps needed to move beyond the stereotypes that continue to shape Black entertainment.
