Even though he knows the importance of LGBTQ+ people being good role models, good influence, good inspiration, and using demographics and psychographics to make typical Hollywood more inclusive.

Buck Angel
Buck Angel, went from being a pornographic performance artist to that of a trans-role model for trans kids wishing to switch gender.
Movikarma's Inclusive Pathways Salon goes much deeper and wider than gender and sexual orientation. It includes the inclusivity of racial diversity that reflects the global, real-life movie-going audience, who want to take it further and farther by making movies that reflects them and making a livelihood doing that.
When Yolanda Brinkley left her 9 to 5 corporate job, eleven years ago, to see how black people, much less black women prosper at Cannes Film Festival, she's not afraid to admit that the Cannes Film Festival is much white-washed. She dedicated that past decade to make Cannes Film Festival more aware of a diverse, global audience and making Cannes Film Festival, which is a market place to sell and buy movies, as well as tv series, more fresh, more on point, and more reflective, while proving all that is profitable, not niche.
Shawn Finnie, an African-American man with an Irish last name, is the new type of intern sleeping in his car, working his way up through assistant to being the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences', a.k.a. "The Oscars'" new leading light, Executive Vice President, Member Relations and Awards. He is actively including more diversity and inclusion that reflect the rising stars of non-Caucasians and women in general, whether they be actors or directors or producers or all three.
