In a video accompanying the campaign, Michaela said: “Growing up, I didn’t see what a lot of young people see now, that black people can direct film or television.
“The footage we’re shooting – I’ve never seen the vision of a black woman in the director’s chair and just seeing it helps you believe it.”
“It’s a long way to go and I’m happy to try to make that journey easier for creatives.”
The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever actress continued, “There are queer stories that haven’t been told to me, there are stories about sexual identity that I haven’t seen told, stories about being an immigrant that haven’t been told to me.
‘I’m looking forward to the future and I’m looking forward to more of those stories.’
