Through the company, Hayat is hoping that people from underrepresented communities will gain more opportunities to tell their own stories.
Posting on Instagram she said: “As someone who has been a part of the entertainment industry for a number of years, I have seen firsthand the lack of diversity and representation in Western media.
It’s become increasingly clear to me that if we want to see more authentic and nuanced portrayals of people from different cultures and backgrounds, we need to take matters into our own hands.
That’s why I decided to start Pink Llama Films. I believe that it’s important for us, as members of underrepresented communities, to tell our own stories and to shape the narrative about who we are and what we stand for.”
