- BIPOC Race & Ethnicity
- Sexuality & Gender
- Love & Relationships
- Bodies
- Class
- Animal Rights
- Environmental Sustainability
- Healing, Trauma & Grief
CMCS has been featured for its views on celebrities in a wide range of media, including CTV, CBC National News, Global News, the Telegraph, VICE, Flare, Chatelaine, SUN Media, Yahoo! Entertainment, and many more. As the world’s first celebrity expert on tabloids, CMCS will offer honor and exposure, and connect unique film artists as role models for human and non-human animal ethics within and beyond celebrity culture.
