With all the controversy surrounding the upcoming Academy Awards and the lack of any nominations for actors of color in a second year in a row, it’s causing many to truly reflect on Jada Pinkett-Smith’s call for action.
Interestingly enough, actor Nate Parker has taken a dramatic step to make the films he wants to see a reality.

He’s so delicious.
LOL. Your favorite word.
That he is!
Nice. More of us need to be financing our own films.
Now imagine if all black actors did this sh-t. F-ck the Oscars.
So impressed with him! This is how you do it if you want your story told…you do it yourself. More black actors need to take that chance, but they’re too afraid of giving up their cushy lifestyles or being blacklisted.
He is very smart it’s time to stop waiting for hollywood to open doors and start creating our own doors for opportunity.
Awesome. I’m so proud of him.
Imagine what this would do for the black community if more black celebrities invested in telling our stories. We’d be so powerful. There’s so much strength in proper representation in the media.
Impressive. I really like this guy.
