Often times black media outlets/ journalists don’t receive recognition from many talents while on the red carpet at some major events.
However, producer Will Packer and actress Issa Rae let it be known how important it is for them to ALWAYS stop and speak to African American outlets. Packer said,
“When I see my folks on the carpet, I’m stopping. PERIOD,” Packer said.
“These are the outlets that promoted me when I started, so I’m always going to show love and respect.” She went on to say: “I would be nowhere without black outlets and I’ll never forget that,” Issa Rae added.
