Description
Be In The Biz is a national outreach program designed to bring the insights, expertise, and connections from Hollywood directly to emerging creative communities across the country. Recognizing the geographic and aspirational significance of “Hollywood,” the NAACP Hollywood Bureau convenes local activations that provide valuable information, access, and resources to burgeoning communities of content creators.
The day-long Be In The Biz symposium features Hollywood leaders in panel discussions, a keynote luncheon, and a networking reception. Through the program, the NAACP Hollywood Bureau is also building a nationwide network of creators and partners, opening channels for ongoing conversations, informing communities, and connection.
At its core, Be In The Biz is about finding talent where they are and making “Hollywood” more accessible. Communities across the country are home to talented storytellers with compelling stories to tell, but many lack access to the resources, industry knowledge, and professional connections needed to advance their careers. Be In The Biz helps bridge that gap by bringing the industry to them—creating pathways to information, opportunity, and community.
