I already messed up the numbering. We're having fun. 5/
Stories industry folk tell selves abt progress r sometimes wrong, out of touch w reality, esp when it comes to hiring, who gets to create. 6
So many of us love TV! So many shows we enjoy, and we’ve seen some high-profile female & POC creators get attention. Yay attention! 7/

Multiple studies over decades now showing that MOC, WOC, WW — on screen & behind scenes — don’t get hired at same rates. At all. STILL. 9/
Linking up both halves of the tweetstrom. Keep going, you can do it!
