to serve as its first-ever chief diversity officer. The hiring is the latest step in the organization’s reform process, started earlier this year in the wake of backlash to the HFPA’s lack of Black members, questionable operational practices and lack of accountability.
At the HFPA, Phillips will play “an integral part of its continuing commitment to implementing reforms to promote greater diversity, equity, and inclusion both within the organization and within broader Hollywood and journalism communities,” the organization said. Phillips is an Aspen Institute Education Entrepreneurship Fellow and a member of the inaugural Echoing Green/Open Society Foundation Black Male Achievement Fellowship. He has also won the Nantucket Project Audience Award multiple times, including for a talk on race in America and on-stage conversations with Norman Lear and former President George W. Bush. He is also working on a documentary with The Nantucket Project about on race and Black male achievement.
