In this episode of the S&S Social we speak with SUPERGIRL and JESSICA JONES writer/producer J. Holtham about the Black Lives Matter movement, diversity in writers' rooms, racism in Hollywood, writing meaningful and responsible characters of color and much more.

Note: This episode was recorded a few weeks ago but the content is just as important today as it was when we taped it.

Quote of the day: " In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist. We must be anti-racist. " - Angela Davis
