Tiffany started a grassroots group after joining SAG-AFTRA Leadership called MOVING THE DIAL to advocate for Black performers need for equity in Hair and Makeup on set. Since the inception of the group; the commercial contract added protections for people of color and those with textured hair. SAG-AFTRA has also joined forces to legislate for change with The Crown Act. And with the upcoming theatrical negotiations they are pushing for further protections in SAGAFTRA’s contract.
