The Women's Committee Gets Real About Industry Challenges
About this episode
The episode features a discussion among women in the industry about the challenges they face and how they are addressing them.
As we celebrate Women's History Month this March, we're recognizing not just the trailblazers of the past, but the women who are shaping our industry's future right now. In this episode, we share a powerful conversation that took place last November at our L.A. Local Women's Committee's second annual roundtable. Seven remarkable SAG-AFTRA members came together to discuss the real challenges women face in our industry—from stereotypes and ageism to gender bias. And more importantly, how we're confronting them together. The panel was moderated by Elyssa Phillips and included Tiffany Yvonne Cox, Frances Fisher, Ever Carradine, Minita Gandhi, Jessy Yates and Alisa Reyes. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.
