Whether through film, music, or literature, entertainment serves as an ideal platform for presenting a narrative to hopefully spark change. Many of today’s most popular entertainments provide subtle or direct commentary on current issues, whether social, political, or economic. This is apparent in films like Don’t Look Up, authored by Adam McKay; books like The Help, written by Kathryn Stockett; or the song “This is America”, performed by Childish Gambino.
It’s important for those interested in entering the world of entertainment to keep an eye on what other performers are doing – both in terms of performance styles and how they run their businesses. But, it’s also crucial that they stay true to their own personality and style in order to stand out from the crowd.
