Joining our host, Jaina Alexander, and her special co-host Vic Melkonyan, are the Founders of BLKLST, the BIPOC created and led mechanism of accountability through transparency and community oversight in the Los Angeles Theatre Community. The three founders, Celia Mandela Rivera, A'raelle Flynn-Bolden, and Tiana Randall-Quant, are all long-time and active members of the LA theatre community. BLKLST's mission is to provide Safety and Equity for all BIPOC creatives and of the intersections we inhabit, in the Los Angeles theatre community by providing agency for L.A. based BIPOC theatremakers so that they can make informed decisions on what predominantly White American Theatres (WAT) they work with.

This episode is part two of our conversation around pushing for Equity and Accountability in LA Theatre through the Lens of Anti-Racism.
