Representation Matters

What this episode covers

This week, Natalie sits with director and producer Jon Lee Brody to tackle conversations on why representation in media matters and the experience one has when you fight for representation in that field. The pair will discuss moments in their careers where they became the voice in the room speaking for people that needed additional backing to make sure they were given the respect and treatment warranted to them. They also dive into how you represent yourself during tough situations or humbling moments is also a really great indicator to how you’ve grown or another indicator that we still have a long way to go when it comes to tackling topics such as diversity in film, education in our schools that includes everyone’s story, and what happens when your ego is dealt a blow.  Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram and https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!
