Jemel McWilliams was nominated for his first Emmy Award in 2020 for the Janelle Monae opening number at this year's Oscars. In addition to his work with Monae and John Legend, McWilliams has been a game-changer in body image in the dance industry. His work with Lizzo made headlines because dance agencies were not representing plus-size dancers and they were not getting the same job opportunities.
Jemel also discusses the importance of social justice in the arts and the fact that the lack of representation carries over to Emmy winners in the Outstanding Choreography category. (Editor's Note: The last time a Black choreographer won the category was Jason Samuels Smith in 2004.)
The discussion also takes a personal turn to how the arts media can best serve Black artists — What are we missing? What can we do better? Don't miss this incredible interview.
