Join us on this episode as we hear from Vicki Shabo, founding director of the "Re-Scripting Gender, Work, Family, and Care" program at the New America Foundation's Better Life Lab.
Vicki is a lawyer, advocate, and policy expert who aims to affect shift paradigms by changing narratives... literally.
In her role as director of the "Re-scripting" program, Vicki collaborates with studios, showrunners, and writers to integrate more authentic storytelling on topics of care, family, gender, and overall work-life success into scripted and unscripted TV and film.
Recognizing that accountability structures and support vehicles must exist to see these efforts succeed, she also champions policy that expands workers' access to paid family and medical leave and paid sick time, promotes fair pay and aids all workers with caregiving responsibilities – including those in the screen industry.
