A heartfelt thank you to the creatives who generously shared their lived experiences with us. Your voices add vital depth to the data, capturing what numbers alone cannot.

We also thank the production companies and Diamond broadcasters whose collaboration makes this work possible, and the DEI professionals across the industry who relentlessly champion inclusion. Your ongoing advocacy ensures the voices of those that are often unheard are represented, and your commitment keeps equity firmly on the agenda.
