America is transforming, our nation is becoming more diverse with a multicultural majority on the horizon. The ability for media to increase representation in front of and behind the camera is critical. Our efforts to help educate and arm diverse and inclusive talent with tools to be successful in the marketing and advertising industry is important work, beneficial to our company and society.
At NBCU we create content for all people. Audiences around the world see and share what we produce, making us leaders in shaping culture.
We have the responsibility to evolve as the world transforms, to lead with authenticity, and to ensure people of all ethnicities, gender identities, and backgrounds have platforms to be heard and seen.
And it’s an opportunity to create the best future for our businesses and our consumers.
