Keeping Our Promise to Act Quickly<\/h2>\n

About two weeks ago, we recognized that we could do more when it came to how we collaborated with image-makers, to be more representative of our community. To address the topic quickly and directly, we created a process in which we asked for members of those communities to submit requests for collaboration. To handle the requests, we dedicated 5 members of our team to evaluating and reviewing each submission to make sure they got the attention they deserved.<\/span><\/p>\n

On June 13, 2020, we updated everyone that submitted a request and posted an update on the submission form to indicate that we would select five individuals from these submissions and begin a process of collaboration with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we are happy to say that we have made our selections from the 100+ submissions that we received and have begun outreach to our selected collaborators to outline the next steps of the process. It is our plan to provide you all with further updates on how those collaborations are moving along. We will also continue to evaluate new and existing submissions to our collaboration form<\/a> every 6 months to keep this process going. We are truly excited about this next step and grateful for the honor of working with these wonderful image-makers!<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more updates, coming July 1, 2020, on our ongoing actions and plans to keep our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness going.<\/span><\/p>\n
