If you’ve ever watched a film like Don’t Look Up, a book like The Help or listened to a song such as This is America by Childish Gambino, then you know that entertainment has the ability to provide subtle or direct commentary on specific issues. It is an ideal platform for presenting a narrative to hopefully spark change.
Whether we’re reading a good book, listening to our favorite song or laughing at our favorite comedy show, we all have an innate desire to be entertained. This is why it’s so important to keep an eye on other entertainers – not to copy their style but rather to learn from them and incorporate what works into something that is unique to you. This will set you apart from the crowd and allow you to be true to yourself.
