Shonda Rhimes, the creator of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder, discusses how she hates the word “diversity” and instead wants to “normalize” media in this speech. Video starts at 0:36 seconds after a brief interview. If you’re a big Shonda fan, read the whole speech here.
What do you make of her speech? Do you turn on the TV and see people who look like you? How important is it to see people who do NOT look and act like you? Think about how important it is to see / hear many stories being told AND who has the power to tell them.
