Our Intentions

During Black History Month and throughout the year, we’re celebrating our Black and African American employees, consumers, and fans around the world.
 
“I look forward to the necessary focus on Black people, the celebration of their significant contributions to society and unwavering excellence, as well as expanding the conversation to Black History Always where we don’t limit prioritization and recognition to a singular month,” said Christina Carey Dunleavy, VP, Disney CreativeWorks and Multicultural &amp; Inclusive Solutions.
 
We’re celebrating Black culture through the power of our unparalleled storytelling, iconic brands, creative minds, and innovative technologies.
 
“As the first heritage month of the year, Black History Month invites allyship, intersectionality and community amongst all. I look forward to learning and celebrating all cast within the African diaspora that honors our varying histories and experiences,” said Kyleia Malone, DEI Project Analyst, Diversity and Inclusion.
 
There are numerous ways to celebrate Black History Month with Disney throughout February and beyond:

“With the scale and reach of Disney, my hope for future generations is that they don’t have to seek out diverse storytelling and instead, it’s intrinsic to all storytelling,” said Christina.

In “Step is Life,” audiences will be given a primer on this vivid, physical and impactful form of creative expression.

As <a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/bo-katan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo-Katan Kryze</a>, Katee Sackhoff’s Star Wars journey has taken her character from animated form in Star Wars: The Clone Wars to the live-action adventure of <a href="https://www.starwars.com/series/the-mandalorian" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Mandalorian</a> on <a href="https://www.disneyplus.com/series/the-mandalorian/3jLIGMDYINqD?cid=DTCI-Synergy-StarWars-Blog-Acquisition-PreSales-US-StarWars-DisneyPlus-EN-BlogPost" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Disney+</a>. Star Wars Insider’s John Kirk spoke with the actor about her time in the Star Wars galaxy, including how a part in Robot Chicken led her to the throne of Mandalore. Check out StarWars.com’s exclusive excerpt from the interview, available now in <a href="https://titan-comics.com/m/120-star-wars-insider-216/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Star Wars Insider #216</a>, below.
 
You know where you stand with Katee Sackhoff. Bold, direct, and possessed of an impish sense of humor, she’s a galaxy away from the Star Wars character she has played since Bo-Katan Kryze first arrived in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2020). Sackhoff has made a name for herself playing such strong, warrior characters, most famously as ace pilot Kara “Starbuck” Thrace in the 2003 reboot of Battlestar Galactica (2003-2009), and as Niko Breckinridge in Netflix sci-fi series Another Life (2019-2021). 
 
“I don’t like to play uncomplicated women,” Sackhoff smiles. “I like to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. In the case of Niko in Another Life, I wanted to live in the mindset of someone who knew that to save her child’s life she had to leave her behind on Earth, knowing she would never come home again. One of the things I love about Bo-Katan Kryze is that I don’t think being female has ever crossed her mind in relation to her capabilities or lack thereof. She’s a warrior, yes. She’s a woman, true. But Bo-Katan is an example of growth and redemption, forgiveness and atonement. She has tremendous strengths but just as harsh weaknesses. She’s real. She’s flawed. She has a large ego, and it has cost her.” 
 
Sackhoff’s chance to join the biggest galaxy of them all came through some voice work for a show famous for parodying Star Wars (among many other films and television series): the stop-motion animated comedy, Robot Chicken (2005 - ). “That led directly to me becoming Bo-Katan,” confirms Sackhoff. “Robot Chicken’s creators, Seth Green and Matt Senreich, were friends with Dave Filoni and one day he called them up to ask what I was like to work with. Thankfully, I’m not like the character I played on their show!” She laughs. “That’s how I ended up working on The Clone Wars.”

Set in the present day with flashbacks to the 1990s, "Sydney to the Max" is a heartwarming and sentimental comedy centering around the experiences of a sociable, goodhearted middle schooler named Sydney Reynolds and her protective, doting - and sometimes clueless - widowed dad Max as they navigate the challenges of growing up. In this episode celebrating the beauty of Black hair, Sydney begins to question her straight hairstyle after her classmate Jada suggests that she try wearing her hair natural sometimes. This sends Sydney on a hair journey tied to her cultural identity and memories of her late mom, Alisha. Her dad Max tries to help, but Sydney is still at a loss and calls on her grandmother Maya. Back in the '90s, young Alisha is faced with a different hair dilemma when school picture day rolls around, and her mom has booked a salon appointment for her to get a relaxer. Alisha doesn't know what to do because she loves her naturally coifed hair and feels like she loses a piece of herself every time she gets it straightened.

As part of ESPN’s Black History Always initiative, ACC Network (ACCN) will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the July 2022 trip to Montgomery and Selma, Ala., that Atlantic Coast Conference student-athletes took – an immersive experience that allowed them to gain a better understanding of historic events that were central to the Civil Rights Movement. All Access The ACC Life – ACC UNITE Selma to Montgomery will debut tonight at 7 p.m. ET on ACCN. 
 
The 30-minute documentary hosted by Dalen Cuff will take viewers along with the student-athletes as they experienced the weekend in Selma and Montgomery. The trip was part of the ACC’s social-justice platform, ACC UNITE.
 
“Since I was young, I’ve loved learning about history – particularly Black history in our country – and I knew the stories and significance of Selma and Montgomery in the Civil Rights Movement well,” said Cuff. “Learning educates us, but experiencing it changes us and this experience in Selma and Montgomery was otherworldly. Being with the student-athletes while they saw, heard, and felt this journey was remarkable. I hope our audience can get a feel for this transformational opportunity and will be motivated to take a trip of their own. There is nothing like experiencing it in person. It was truly life changing.”
 
Access The ACC Life – ACC UNITE Selma to Montgomery will feature:
 
• Special access to an intimate session in Montgomery with Sheyann Webb-Christburg – author and an in-person eyewitness of “Bloody Sunday”, March 7, 1965, when civil rights activists attempted to march from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery in protest for voting rights and were brutally attacked by police at the Edmund Pettus Bridge
 
• A full day in Selma, including stops at the First Baptist Church, the headquarters for the Dallas County Voters League and named “The Movement Church” and a march across the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge
 
• Lynda Blackmon Lowery addressing the group at the First Baptist Church about her experiences being in the march on “Bloody Sunday”
 
• Stops at a series of landmarks and museums in Montgomery
 
• Student-athletes featured in Access The ACC Life – ACC UNITE Selma to Montgomery include, Virginia women’s basketball guard Carole Miller, Louisville men’s track &amp; field athlete Sterling Warner-Savage and Duke volleyball outside hitter Gracie Johnson
 
Access The ACC Life – ACC UNITE Selma to Montgomery is part of the on-going All Access The ACC Life series which features several programs from across the ACC and offers a glimpse of a day in the life of ACC student-athletes, coaches, staff, parents and fans. It is produced by Digital P Media, in association with ESPN.

One of the things that The Walt Disney Company’s two animation studios have in common is their commitment to inspire the next generation. Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios have each developed their own unique way to give back to aspiring students. In November 2020, Walt Disney Animation Studios hosted an online Student Summit for more than 1,500 college and university students from 55 countries and territories with the goal to inform, engage, inspire and prepare them for future careers in animation by hearing from directors and artists. In the Bay area, Pixar Animation Studios connects with Madison Park Academy and Madison Park Primary throughout the school year – offering free career panels, mock interviews, resume workshops, heritage month read-ins and draw-alongs with their own working artists.
