“Our mission at MIMPA will be to continue to provide a platform for recognition of those Studios, Producers, Writers, Directors and Artists, who make diversity and inclusion a part of their respective creative projects, while also raising funds to support up and coming film-makers and students with grants and scholarships for film and television projects that impact diversity within the entertainment industry”, stated Gibson. “We will partner and dialog with studio executives to assist them with messaging that reflects the landscape of our ever-changing industry, and hopefully create an environment where women and people of color are considered in the same manner as others, making roles more accessible and inclusion a consideration while characters are being created and developed, ultimately getting to the root cause of exclusion”, Gibson said. MIMPA’s Lady in Red Diamond Rose Awards recognizes and empowers women who are making a difference in the world in their various careers, including, but not limited to the entertainment industry, and raises funds to benefit non-profit organizations that seek to support the specific needs of women and children.
