Fanshen Cox has long been a racial equity leader in Hollywood. Now she’s raising the call for “truth and racial healing” in Tinseltown.
On paper, Cox wears many professional hats: actor, essayist, award-winning playwright, and film producer. She’s also an activist and consultant for racial equity in Hollywood and beyond. Indeed, she wrote the so-called “inclusion rider” that actor Frances McDormand spoke of during her Oscar acceptance speech on live television in 2018.
“I realized that what is so important in healing is to speak the truth, and that truth has to be both our personal narratives connected to the context of our systemic history” and powerful institutions that perpetuate imbalances of power, she said. “The more I do this show, the more I realize that the most important thing I can do is have a critical lens on what it means to be mixed,” Cox said in a 2015 interview. “Race was created to maintain the ideology of white supremacy. I’ve had to reflect on what it means to have a mixed identity, and how exploring this identity perpetuates this ideology.”
Now, Cox is furthering her work and promoting healing through TruJuLo, her Los Angeles-based production company. The goal, she said, is to “nurture storytellers and to create film, TV, and media that look at this process of truth and racial healing in various different ways.”
