Michelle Sneed is the President of Production and Development at Tyler Perry Studios. In a commercial, she says “Women are naturally more emotional, more compassionate, things that are sometimes looked as weakness but those are really strengths. We take charge. We think in detail. We’re the inspiration. We’re the muse. We’re part of the climax of the story. Why wouldn’t we have a voice. For me, through this industry as a black woman, I’m in the position to hire women who look like me. How do we progress as a society if we don’t bring more voices to the table? Our voices need to be in those rooms where decisions happen. If you can see her, you can be her.” 1. What are your thoughts about her claim about what women naturally are? Do you think her statement is sexist? If yes, why? If not, why not?
