Times are a-changing in Hollywood when it comes to putting stories from minority voices up on the screen. How does it all work? How have people made a lasting difference in this very historically white male dominated industry? In this week's episode, we get a little peek into the world of a seasoned Hollywood journalist working in "the trades". Our guest is Dino-Ray Ramos, who has been amplifying marginalized communities through his journalism for two decades. He shares insight on the inner workings of the machine and his perspective covering stories of for the BIPOC, female, & queer communities, once upon a time for Deadline Hollywood and now for his own publication, Diaspora. Listen in to hear how he and Minji believe the Asian American community in Hollywood has evolved and some of the growing pains. You'll also learn how Papa Ramos influenced Dino-Ray’s work all the way from Texas, how we can flex on Hollywood better as viewers, and what we can do to create change beyond social media.
