Shonda Rhimes: You Cannot See What You Cannot Be

“You cannot be what you cannot see” or as Shonda says it, “You Cannot See What You Cannot Be.” Known for her plot twists and changing the norm, Shonda Rhimes is a prolific storyteller with an iconoclastic style. A writer, executive producer, showrunner, and creator of such hit shows as Grey’s Anatomy and Bridgerton, she’s broken barriers and boundaries on her way to the top. “The people telling the stories are the people deciding who you see onscreen, they’re the people who are deciding who are in the writers rooms, they’re the people deciding on the crew.” The onus, Rhimes says, is on her and her colleagues to raise a generation of showrunners to fill those screens, those writers rooms, and those crews with storytellers who reflect the full range of human experience. With incredible determination, motivation, and passion Shonda Rhimes’ impact can’t be missed nor mistaken.
