D&I
CHAMPION
When Dungey reflects on who
has made a major impact on her
career, one name rises to the top:
Shonda Rhimes.
" Being in the trenches with a
powerhouse producer like Shonda
Rhimes, from my time with her at
ABC to Netflix, had a profound impact
on my career. As a trailblazing
writer, producer and showrunner,
she fearlessly shattered
barriers and challenged traditional
norms, proving to the world that
underrepresented individuals can
claim the top spot on a call sheet
and achieve remarkable success, "
Dungey says.
It's a perspective Dungey has fully
embraced in her Warner Bros.
Television role, where she has
creative responsibility for all of
its 120+ series. The wide-ranging
portfolio includes animated
series " Velma, " which features an
edgier, bisexual portrayal of the
" Scooby-Doo " character, and " All
American: Homecoming, " a sports
drama set at a fictional HBCU in
Atlanta.
" Our series embrace an inclusive
lens by not only showcasing
diverse characters and perspectives
but also by giving diverse
creators the platform to tell stories
from their unique perspective. We
strongly believe in the power of
representation and aim to foster
empathy, understanding and connection
among viewers with the
series we produce, " Dungey says.
Channing Dungey
Chairman & CEO
Warner Bros. Television Group
She's especially happy with " Abbott
Elementary, " which snagged
eight Emmy nominations this
year. " I take immense pride in my
team's success with Abbott Elementary,
a series that has taken
the world by storm. The show's
overwhelming popularity has
proven that network television can
still thrive when diverse storytellers
are given the opportunity to
tell the stories they want to tell, "
Dungey says.
Dungey's a D&I champion in ways
that are off the screen as well. She
has been a member of the female
mentoring group, Femtors, serving
as an advisor to emerging executives
and serves on the Executive
Board of UCLA's School of Theater,
Film and Television. Dungey
is also a Los Angeles member of
BAFTA and serves on the Board of
Governors of the Motion Picture &
Television Fund.
" She has made it her priority to
ensure diversity is reflected across
all areas of the business-both in
front of and behind the camera,
not only entertaining and inspiring
our viewers but also making
sure the stories we tell and voices
we amplify are reflective of the
diverse backgrounds, experiences
and communities of those we
serve, " says WBD Chief People
& Culture Officer Adria Alpert
Romm. " She is an incredibly
inspiring leader with a strategic
vision that is sure to bring continued
success to the organization. "
