OUR STORY
Directly following #MeToo in October 2017, Kathleen Kennedy and Nina Shaw founded the Hollywood Commission along with entrepreneur, activist, and pioneer in the field of organizational culture and diversity, Freada Kapor Klein.
CHAIRED BY ANITA HILL, THE HOLLYWOOD COMMISSION BRINGS TOGETHER ENTERTAINMENT EXECUTIVES, INDEPENDENT EXPERTS, AND ADVISORS TO TAKE THE NECESSARY COLLECTIVE STEPS TOWARDS TACKLING THE CULTURE OF ABUSE AND POWER DISPARITY IN THE INDUSTRY.
“The commission will not seek just one solution, but a comprehensive strategy to address the complex and interrelated causes of the problems of parity and power.”
- Kathleen Kennedy
IN DECEMBER 2017, RENOWNED LAWYER AND ACADEMIC ANITA HILL WAS ANNOUNCED AS THE CHAIR OF THE COMMISSION.
“The commission is part of a long overdue journey to adopt best practices and create institutional change that fosters a culture of respect and human dignity throughout the industry.“
- Anita Hill
