What do you think is the biggest misconception about diversity within the industry? Some may believe prioritizing diversity on screen may mean sacrificing quality by appealing to a niche audience. However, research has shown that diverse content drives both commercial and critical success.

Advice I would give a recent graduate:

  1. Expand your network with friends and colleagues that come from different cultures and backgrounds. Your life will be greatly enhanced by it.
  2. Meditate on your creator and ask why you were created on earth and what you should create during your lifetime. 3) There is no wrong or right time to start a family.

What does work-life balance mean to you? Work-life balance means prioritizing your values and being disciplined in prioritizing them.
