“We Have Stories” founder Frederick Joseph<\/strong> is ready to do more good.<\/p>\n

As you surely know, amid the success of<\/a> Marvel’s Black Panther<\/em> film, the marketing guru founded the #BlackPantherChallenge\u2014a philanthropic enterprise to help get disadvantage kids to theaters to see the historic flick.<\/p>\n

“I really felt that kids needed to see themselves represented in that way,” Joseph exclusively shared to E! Countdown to the Red Carpet: Oscars 2019<\/em> commentators Jeannie Mai<\/strong> and Nina Parker<\/a><\/strong>. “So once I saw that people were receptive to it, I said, ‘Well maybe I can use some of my marketing ingenuity and contacts to make this thing grow\u2026and people made it happen.”<\/p>\n

And grow it did as the challenge went on to raise more than a million dollars, with 73,000 children taking in the groundbreaking superhero movie.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

However, it’s not about the numbers for Joseph as he hoped this effort would simply inspire children who’ve felt underrepresented. “People don’t understand that the seed to the potential of a child\u2014or the potential of a person\u2014could be right in a film or a song,” Joseph further relayed.<\/p>\n

Thus, Frederick’s work isn’t done as he announced on Sunday that he plans to do a similar campaign<\/a> for Marvel Studios’ first female-led film, Captain Marvel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“We said, ‘You know what? We did it once, let’s take some girls to see it and some kids around the country!'” the philanthropist noted. “So we started the Captain Marvel<\/em> Challenge and we’re specifically, with the first campaign, helping an organization called Girls Inc.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In order to thank Joseph for everything he’s done, Nina and Jeannie surprised Frederick with a group of children in Black Panther<\/em> costumes. Oh, and we can’t forget to mention the $10,000 dollar donation for the Captain Marvel<\/em> Challenge!<\/p>\n

“So, we have for you, $10,000 from E! to help you with your Captain Marvel<\/em> dreams of getting everybody to watch the film,” Mai explained.<\/p>\n
