● “As a Black woman, I stand with Dr. King’s belief that life begins to end when we become silent about things that matter. Film plays an integral role in perpetuating negative stereotypes of people of color and other marginalized populations worldwide. In the current cultural and political climate, Diversity in Cannes is my effort to be the change I wish to see in the world. #timesup!” YOLONDA BRINKLEY @DIVERSENCANNES ● READ MORE A corporately trained marketer, Ms. Brinkley worked 10 years at the Ford Motor Company, including assignments with the Lincoln-Mercury and Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover brands.
