Quote:
"There is a lot of work to be done to undo the biases within our industry as it relates to women of colour. As somebody who's worked in this industry for 30 years, I know what that discrimination is about. So while I do think there has been major change, I don't think it's benefited women in the same way. The changes that need to happen are systemic. Barriers to equality exist within the funding organizations, the distribution organizations, every sector of the industry. If you get through one, then you hit another. Now is the time to push and to call out and to claim."
-- Frances-Anne Solomon
