The top 10 neighbors for Ava DuVernay span six distinct subcategories — Directors, Activists, Actors, Activism organizations, News Publishers, and Non-Profits — with no single type dominating and scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.99 down to 0.97.
The shape is flat: Matthew A. Cherry leads at 0.99, followed closely by Shaun King at 0.99, Issa Rae at 0.98, Color Of Change at 0.98, Colorlines at 0.97, and NAACP at 0.97. The spread across those six is less than three hundredths of a point. No single neighbor pulls away from the pack. DuVernay's subcategory — Artists — has no direct match in the top 10; the nearest neighbors are a Director, Activists, Actors, an Activism organization, a News Publisher, and a Non-Profit. That cross-kind composition is the defining structural feature: the audience shape is not anchored to a single peer type but distributed evenly across entertainment figures, civil society organizations, and media outlets. Questlove (0.97, Musicians and Bands) and Cornel West (0.97, Academics) extend the mix further, confirming that no one subcategory owns this neighborhood. The remaining top-10 slots go to Melissa Harris-Perry (0.97, Academics) and Maxine Waters (0.96, Politicians).
The flat, cross-kind distribution suggests an audience that moves fluidly across creative, activist, journalistic, and political spaces rather than clustering tightly around any single professional category.
