Media makers don’t just create content—we shape culture.

What we see on-screen influences how we see ourselves and the world around us. And what gets made is directly impacted by who gets to make it. While access initiatives aim to open doors, the data they rarely work.

That’s because entry is only part of the equation—workplace culture that promotes retention is the other. Care Producers understand this. It’s why we build systems that attract and retain skilled workers, minimize costly disruptions, enable workers to thrive, and elevate the well-being of everyone involved.

By shifting how we understand the production process—and the people within it—we expand the conversation beyond access-to-entry toward sustainable change. For those navigating the industry from marginalized or underrepresented positions, often alongside caregiving responsibilities, these solutions aren’t just nice-to-have. They’re non-negotiable.

By supporting creative teams holistically, we influence the stories that make it to the screen—stories rooted in care, shaped by inclusion, and built to last.

As a Care Producer, I strive to embed care, equity, and sustainability into every stage of production. From pre to post, I design workflows that support workers of varying identities, abilities, orientations, and caregiver statuses to cultivate safe, accountable environments that work for everyone.
