Michael B. Jordan announces on Instagram that he'll be adopting inclusion riders
The effects of Frances McDormand's epic Oscars speech are already taking hold.
On Sunday, after winning the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, McDormand finished her speech with a phrase many people hadn't heard of before: "inclusion rider".
In a nutshell, an "inclusion rider" is a contractual clause that requires a certain level of diversity to be met in a film.
Now, a few days after that speech was made, Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan has announced that his production company -- Outlier Society Productions -- will adopt inclusion riders for all of its projects.
"I've been privileged to work with powerful women & persons of color throughout my career & it's Outlier's mission to continue to create for talented individuals going forward," he wrote.
Jordan's post received plenty of support on Twitter.
