Have you heard of the DC/Vertigo comic book Scalped? If you’ve been a fan of the comic book, it’s now been greenlit as an upcoming show on WGN America! The Hollywood Reporter has described Scalped as such: “‘Scalped’ is described as a modern-day crime story set in the world of a Native American Indian reservation. It explores…
Guess what, everyone? Canada’s Aboriginal People’s Television Network (APTN) is launching a sister channel in the United States! APTN is launching All Nations Network sometime this year. The 24-hour channel will be, as the press release states, “the first network to bring both native and non-native audiences in the U.S.”, providing “native news, sports, scripted,…
The NAACP Image Awards was what non-white Hollywood needed to release pent-up aggression and, to paraphrase NAACP President Cornell William Brooks, to honor themselves. Even though the Oscars is seen as the highest form of award in the film world, it technically functions like what Chris Rock called it—a white BET Awards. The NAACP Image…
As featured in COLORBLOCK Magazine, February 2016 There’s a lot of diversity in entertainment nowadays. Or is there?

Move over Empire—Mister Brau is taking over Brazil’s airwaves, and, like Empire, it’s causing a buzz in how Brazilian entertainment views its non-white audience.

Sleepy Hollow is facing some tough times when it comes to ratings, and if support doesn’t…
Earlier this year, I put out my COLOR recap list, which included lots of things. But I honestly underestimated the sheer amount of recapping I’d have to do this year, coupled with the amount of TV work I do for other companies. (I work many different jobs aside from running this site.) I’ve found myself…
