I joined the DGA in 2017 while co-directing the Netflix series Flint Town with my partner. I was pregnant at the time and worked until the day I gave birth. However, after the birth of my daughter it was necessary that I take some time to care for her and recover physically. My partner was not faced with quite the same physical pressures. That first year, while my partner retained his yearly minimum, I did not.

Over the past several years major strides towards inclusivity have been made. The DGA diversity report released in November shows that women directing episodic television rose to a record of 31%, more than doubling the last five years. 2020 is forecasted to continue in this positive direction and it is both encouraging and timely that these changes are happening.

Goldman won't take companies public without 'at least one diverse board candidate,' CEO saysCEO David Solomon said the performance of public offerings of companies with at least one female director is 'significantly better' than those without. Yes, and it's also the case that most of the value creation happens privately. Puts and takes, DJ D-SOL. I respectfully disagree. While I believe that there’s more information than ever, most roadshows take place behind closed doors or even in bank vaults. Startups and pre-IPOs should host and broadcast key investment meetings.
