Regina King gets a full standing ovation and applauds from me! She is going somewhere and doing things. Her mission and goal is to employee 50% women on projects she produces. Although she said she wasn't able to make her goal happen for the film "One Night in Miami", the fact that she even has that as a goal and actively tries to accomplish it says a lot in itself on the person that she is.
Another actress that comes to mind when I think of those empowering others is, Reese Witherspoon. Reese has done an amazing job of producing films that have as many females in her cast as possible. She understands and gets the stigma that is put on women in that industry and has done an incredible job of building women up and employing them.
Now when it comes to African Americans, Tyler Perry has done an incredible job at employing men and women of color on his shows and movies. He is an incredibly giving and caring person and has made the Atlanta film industry boom.
All three of these amazing named public figures have done in awesome job at building and uplifting their communities. I applaud all three of them for how much they had done to work with and continue building up others around them.
