Not only is it important to have diversity represented in entertainment, it’s good business. People tend to want to watch programs in which they can relate. The more diversity, the more people will be interested in viewing their films.
As a part of my series about leaders helping to make the entertainment industry more diverse and representative, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Delores Wheeler. Delores has been in the entertainment industry for over twenty years. She is on the regional board of SAG-AFTRA in Dallas, Texas representing the state of Oklahoma.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?
I’ve always loved all aspects of film. It was escapism for me. I could enter any world I chose.
