Cheryl L. Bedford is the driving force behind Women of Color Unite - WOCU - and there's something you need to know from the start: She is OK with being uncomfortable - in fact, she prefers it that way - because she believes that's where positive change happens. WOCU is the LA-based social action and non-profit organization focused on remedying the inequities that face Women of Color in today’s entertainment and media industries. This group stands for hiring parity, fair treatment, and providing resources to Women of Color content creators industry-wide. As a collective of over 5000 women and growing, they work to create opportunities for engagement between hiring agents and their active membership of experienced women to address the indefensible precept: “I don’t know any WOC that I can hire.” In this episode, Cheryl brings the conversation of race and inequality front and center, providing solutions that are action-oriented and achievable. This is one good - GREAT - conversation.
