Today on our biweekly miniseries addressing gender inequality in the business, we discuss perhaps the most pervasive and insidious issue holding women back.
Earlier in season 1 of the podcast, during our first “Women in Film” series, we had an episode that set the show on a path to have what would become Breaking the Glass. In that episode, there was one particular topic discussed that affects women from as high up as the ivory towers of studio executive offices, to the trenches of post production houses: self-confidence and the “imposter syndrome.” In this episode we’ll hear from:
- Elaine McMillion Sheldon, director of Hollow and co-host of the She Does Podcast.
- Julie Harris Walker, host and producer of the podcast “The Other Fifty Percent: A Herstory of Hollywood“
- Breaking the Glass panel participant Nichelle Protho, VP of Sander-Moses and COO of Slam Digital
- Show regular Yolanda Cochran (Producer) and Christina Kremer (post-production supervisor)
- Amina Moreau, executive creative director of Stillmotion
- Kathleen Shannon, owner of Braid Creative and co-host of the Being Boss podcast
