I stand with the WGA. Does that stand come with a cost for some of us?

If Black women are to stand any chance at a future in Hollywood, the WGA needs to win this fight. Right now, none of us are writing movies or TV. The peers who've walked this path with me were already underpaid, underemployed, and underestimated, and now we're all out of work. The stakes were already so high — and now they're higher than ever.
The #WGA #strike is still ongoing. A friendly reminder that "unscripted" shows such as #reality #tv or contest-style shows will likely be in abundance for the upcoming season, as these formats are generally crafted by so-called "producers" who are non-union.
See link below for an in-depth review of this practice from the Los Angeles Times, but in a nutshell, from the article: "Compared with scripted television, wages for unscripted series are lower, hours are longer and efforts to unionize have been met with fierce resistance."
#Support the WGA and do not watch or otherwise give attention to these types of shows. Ways to support the WGA directly can be found here: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub.
Or, just turn off the screen until the strike is settled and support writers by purchasing #books from legitimate sources. The world needs more #good #stories and less trash.
