The Creative Equity Initiative (CEI) is a dynamic, Black-led international advocacy platform committed to breaking down systemic barriers to representation and catalyzing transformative change across the global media ecosystem.

In a moment when tides are shifting, CEI remains nimble and responsive—grounded in its mission while evolving to meet the needs of today’s complex cultural and technological realities. We advance equity through storytelling that is culturally conscious, socially impactful, and globally resonant.

Our work spans targeted workforce and skills development, ethical collaboration with emerging technologies, and strategic advocacy projects—all rooted in the belief that media has the power to reshape the world we live in.

As an independent 501(c)(3) organization, CEI operates across the entertainment industry and beyond- building alliances, driving accountability, and co-creating sustainable pathways toward justice and inclusion.

The Creative Equity Initiative works in collaboration and alignment with the Bold Action Committee (fka the Black Equity Team) of Warner Brothers Discovery.
