Men of Color Unite

Men of Color Unite (MOCU) is an organization dedicated to social actions supporting fair access, treatment and pay for men of color in all aspects of entertainment and media.

This organization works towards these goals by creating self-sustaining long-term programs for:

Advocate fair hiring practices;
Normalize a more inclusive and diverse workplace environment;
Promote access for excluded content creators and expand audiences represented by those excluded content creators;
Raise funds for MOCU to produce their own content;
Establish spaces, panel events to support mental health and empowerment for members as they face industry diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges in the workspace and in personal lives.
Hold events, seminars, workshops, panels and summits to get more men of color hired, fund their projects and distribute their content;
Work with additional organizations to develop analytics of under-represented marginalized groups to better identify their needs; and,
Help companies incubate trained, certified talent and integrate them into their work force.

Men of Color Unite (MOCU) is an LA-based social action and 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that focuses on remedying the inequities that face Men of Color in today’s entertainment and media industries. We stand for hiring parity, fair treatment, and providing resources to Men of Color content creators industry-wide.

WOCU, a collective of over 5000 women and growing, creates opportunities for engagement between hiring agents and our active membership of experienced women to address the indefensible precept: “I don’t know any WOC that I can hire.”

The MOD List (Men of Distinction) is a user-friendly database of MOCU members listed by profession available to entertainment and media corporations in need of trusted, trained men of color skilled within entertainment and media.
