And i was like reading isajob!? sign me up! so thats what i did, and thatjust created an opening into the world of cinema for me, and then women — amy pascal and don steele — they recognised my affinity for writing and foranalysing for writing and for analysing material they promoted me, and the first thing i did was find somebody to replace me in the story department because i was the only person of colour there. stephanie says two women were instrumental in helping her. what about you 7 wh...

Because it is balanced, true heritage —— yes, my heritage is very important to me. i am very proud of it. he was pulled aside by his mum and given a real pep talk, and she said, "you are you," and the way she set it in her west indian accent, and she said, "onething i will tell you, you have got to work", and to remember her saying this? "you have got to work twice as hard, and if there is any trouble with any of your friends your face wont fit as well", and i thought it was a bit over—the...

Know anything about, full stop. i feel it is just a lack of opportunity for people that look like me. i feel like it is just a lack of diversity in general because obviously there is nobody in the sport. there has only ever been a few asian drivers, whether night is merely a white mans sport. back then, seeing another driver of colour was very rare. seeing someone else of the same race, that was a bit of a wow factor. i thought it was only me on the grid still seeing someone else that look like ...

Young people either see themselves or they dont. i think, talking about what we each might have thought were possible forjobs or possible for ourselves, i think it is such an important part of this industry. it is one of the reasons i love it. hollywood, the industry, is one of the least, least... um, open, inclusive businesses. like, oil is more inclusive in terms of ceos and people of colour, than hollywood. and were setting the agenda. were creating the content that goes all over the world. s...

People who make the financial decisions are still very homogenous group of people who look at the business side. there are exceptions, but they look at the business side as what are we going to make back, what are the international sales going to be, what is the box office going to be? they set their budgets around that. so the money follows stories that look like what has succeeded before. so if things are coming from a different perspective, there is no comp. we used to call it the fiscal clif...

Top box—office movies, and a small growth in women of colour as well — not proportional unfortunately, but still growth. now, numbers in 2019, the numbers went from 4% to 12%. since 2019, it has flatlined, no progress for the last four years. so when you think about constraint, fear, the way the global market is, i worry that there needs to be a conversation about how do you take a time where maybe the market conditions are more challenging and not forget about all the commitments to equity ...

Come up against many situations where, just seeing it as it is, the mere fact of his colour has denied him access to certain things. its that simple. know, theres not _ things. its that simple. know, theres not that _ things. its that simple. know, theres not that many - things. its that simple. know, theres not that many people | theres not that many people that— theres not that many people that look like me, at all, in the — that look like me, at all, in the sport _ that look like me, at a...

The week. unlike the weekjust gone, the week. unlike the weekjust gone, the week. unlike the weekjust gone, the week ahead is looking much drier for many. spells of sunshine too, and a little warmer at first, before we start to develop an easterly wind, which will gradually turn colour as the week was on. cloud to start the day through monday, outbreaks of rain initially through central and southern england. spells of sunshine developing for many. just keeping an eye on this spike of mr low clou...

The darkest page in human "history." people were murdered because they didnt share the race, the colour and the ideology of their executioners. i thought it was horrible then, i think its horrible now. and i appealed for a rule of law which would, in future, protect people from that type of atrocity. when you look at that picture of you there, i mean, 27 years of age, chief prosecutor in the nuremberg process. that was an accident that i was the chief prosecutor. one of my researchers, i had abo...

To make 20 to 25 movies a year are now making eight to nine movies each year. the streamers are making films and there are other places, but i think that means that everyone is bigger now, places, but i think that means that everyone is bigger now, everyone is more expensive, everyone is a franchise now. there has still been progress, i would also say even in the last few years, it was 4% of film directors were women. i think less than i% were women of colour in the top 100 films, for years and ...
