It requires the skills to uncover, hone, and communicate your narrative. It demands a keen understanding of your audience and the complexities of today\u2019s media machine. It calls ofr a dedicated follow-up to ensure that your message goes the distance, stays on-target, and is being leveraged and amplified consistently across multiple media platforms.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Using the best practices, tools, and techniques we\u2019ve perfected over the past 30 years, the GLAAD Media Institute turns education into armor for today\u2019s culture war &#8211; transforming individuals into compelling storytellers, media-savvy navigators, and mighty ambassadors whose voices break through the noise and incite real change.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">As we continue to encounter stigma, bias, and misinformation that disproportionately impacts LGBTQ communities of color and people living with HIV (PLWH), it\u2019s more important than ever for community leaders and individuals to be empowered and equipped to tell our stories. In cities across the United States, the Communities of Color and Media team is offering Telling Your Story: Messaging &amp; Media Tools for Today\u2019s Activist, a free training teaching individuals, activists, and advocates how to tell their stories and navigate the media landscape.

The program was created, and is led by, DaShawn Usher, the Senior Director of GLAAD\u2019s Communities of Color and Media Department, along with Associate Director Julian J. Walker and Associate Kayla Thompson. The initiative is designed as a pipeline program to help address, and begin to resolve, the existing gap in equitable representation in entertainment, particularly when it comes to Black LGBTQ storytellers and PLWH.<\/p><p>This three year long experience will support a different group of Black LGBTQ creatives across various disciplines, with the first year cohort made up of short form filmmakers, second year focused on music artists, songwriters, and producers, and choreographers rounding out the program as the third year cohort.<\/p><p><b>Articles:<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"2\">INTO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intomore.com\/entertainment\/music\/glaad-uplifts-black-lgbtq-voices-in-music-with-second-emei-cohort\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GLAAD Uplifts Black LGBTQ+ Voices in Music With Second EMEI Cohort<\/a><\/li><li>The Hollywood Reporter: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/general-news\/glaad-equity-in-media-and-entertainment-initiative-1235227332\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GLAAD Announces Inaugural Class for New Equity in Media and Entertainment Initiative (Exclusive)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8560ae elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e8560ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a class=\"maxbutton-6 maxbutton maxbutton-blue-button-same-window\" href=\"\/emei\/\"><span class='mb-text'>Learn More About EMEI<\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has-el-gap el-gap-default elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dd73288 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dd73288\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-077e66d\" data-id=\"077e66d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-684df7d post-content elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"684df7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-846987 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/media.glaad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14160306\/neon-300x149.png\" alt=\"NEON\" width=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.glaad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14160306\/neon-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/media.glaad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14160306\/neon-150x75.png 150w, https:\/\/media.glaad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14160306\/neon-450x224.png 450w, https:\/\/media.glaad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14160306\/neon.png 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><h3>NEON x GLAAD<\/h3><p>NEON x GLAAD is a digital content series that was founded in 2020 by multi-hyphenate creative Major Nesby with a mission to increase the visibility of Black LGBTQ people.
