“I am so thrilled to co-lead Inspire Justice’s work to transform how, why, and with whom we tell stories,” Baker said. “Supporting artists, executives, and other industry leaders in bringing more equity and authenticity to the entertainment industry has already had such far reaching impacts already on marginalized communities — and we’re just getting started!
