When we're talking about diversity, it's not a box to check. It is a reality that should be deeply felt and held and valued by all of us.

If you walk into a room, and there is no one that's not like you there, whether it's a woman or a person of color, anyone that's different from you, you should be able to say this is a problem. We need allies in that room to say that video, this room, this company, these ideas, this film, this whatever, this is not right - this is not good enough.

Diversity is not one in the room. Diversity is not two in the room. Diversity is not three in the room. True diversity is half the room.
