Empowering Diverse Creators: The Future of Opportunity with XR in the Creator Economy
The creator economy is flourishing like never before, with a recent Business Insider article revealing that it has blossomed into a $250 billion industry. It's an exciting time for creators, storytellers, and technologists, but there's a crucial element missing - the voices and narratives of the BIPOC creatives. That's precisely what we at GRX are here to provide.
Creators and industry buffs are cashing in on this economy through influencer marketing and ad-revenue sharing models. Purported inequities, however, are a consistent challenge for BIPOC creators, leaving many frustrated, confused, and ready to give up. To counter this from a holistic, future-forward studio perspective, GRX stands rooted in becoming a hub where diverse artists can sharpen their skills, develop new ones in immersive tech, and belong to a collaborative, community-based support system to improve the position of marginalized creatives and gain the all-important profit opportunities.
“Our intention is to create compelling stories and enable others to do the same. The place we move from is empowerment,” says Alton Glass, Founder of GRX Immersive Labs.
At GRX, we believe in the power of collaboration and the immense value BIPOC creators, storytellers, and technologists bring to the table. Our community is a haven where individuals from all backgrounds can come together to collaborate, thrive, and reshape the creator economy.
