Erika Alexander created and started the media platform Color Farm Media two years ago. Her goal was tackling inclusion and diversity. “Obviously, I am a black woman. It has been an issue my whole life. I wanted to make an impact on it. I think a lot of people think black people get power by getting roles. I think there is no power in black people getting roles. There is more power in changing the infrastructure. This is not only for myself but for the people coming behind me who pave the way for people to have the advantage. Color Farm Media was born.” In the birth of her media platform. There is hope for black people to have a more reliable source of looking at media that mirrors their life.
