UPM/Director Shawn Pipkin: "It's okay to not know everything."
Sista Brunch: Black Voices in Entertainment02/18/21 • 43 min
We're back with a new season of truth-telling and celebrating with hosts Fanshen Cox and Anya Adams! First up with our hosts is an original "Sista Brunch-er," Shawn Pipkin! Shawn is a 1st AD and director whose list of credits include Grey's Anatomy and Greenleaf. She's also a Directors Guild of America committee member. Shawn talks about the movement that inspired our podcast, the importance of mentoring emerging black talent on the set and why it's good to be "the dumbest person in the room" (her words, not ours!). Then, take notes as she breaks down the growing trend of "calls" for diverse talent by employers.
