NBC Entertainment chief Jennifer Salke and “Friday Night Lights” executive producer Jason Katims are part of a discussion titled “Embracing Inclusion: Telling Stories that Champion a New Narrative” at TheWrap’s Power Women Breakfast in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Joining them are Universal Television President Pearlena Igbokwe and writer-producer Monica Owusu-Breen (“Alias,” “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD”).
The panelists are set to discuss how they are creating change through developing, writing and producing stories of inclusion that encourage understanding.
The rest of the program for Thursday’s event includes “The Florida Project’s” Brooklynn Prince and a panel titled “Disruption: Changing a Culture of Systemic Sexism,” on which ID PR founder and CEO Kelly Bush Novak, actress Claire Forlani and Fox 11 Los Angeles anchor Lauren Sivan are speaking.
TheWrap in 2017 has brought its successful Power Women franchise to DC, SF, NY, and now LA, building a broad network and community of professional women who are decision-makers and mothers, leaders and wives, innovators and activists.
You can watch a livestream of the panel starting around 9:10 a.m. PT on Facebook Live or Twitter’s Periscope.
