Despite Netflix making that hefty offer upfront, in return, the 32-year-old London native would not have been able to retain any percentage of the copyright for the show that she created.But that wasn't all. Michaela also fired her US agency CAA after they urged her to take the Netflix deal because they'd end up making a cut from it.
There was just silence on the phone. And she said,"It’s not how we do things here. Nobody does that, it’s not a big deal." I said,"If it’s not a big deal, then I’d really like to have 5 percent of my rights." The woman said she’d have to run it up the chain. Then she paused and said,"Michaela? I just want you to know I’m really proud of you. You’re doing the right thing.” And she hung up.
But this story is NOT about 'knowing your self-worth.' This story is about the pay gap for women of colour. You missed the mark on this one, ....
