On Thursday, at the 2021 Forbes Power Women’s Summit, Ava DuVernay, award-winning producer, writer and director, shared her definitions of power, creativity, and progress.
, that help upend the definitions of who is allowed to tell, consume, and embrace stories. Outwardly, her career has been celebrated as one that breaks the barriers of race and gender, but, as Forbes posed to her in conversation, DuVernay has previously mentioned that she actually views her career through the lens of age.
“I picked up the camera pretty late for someone becoming a director,” explains DuVernay. “Usually people are going to film school and they're picking up their first camera either in high school or in college years. I was just starting to learn about it at 32 years old. I really think the conversation is about change.
DuVernay encouraged a change in how “success” is defined in order to leave room for creativity and changing one’s mind. “I think in our society and our culture, [encourage you] to find what you want to do, who you want to be and who you want to be with right now and stick with it for the rest of your life. That is success, that is you're doing well, and I think that there needs to be some flexibility there for people to change, to learn, to grow, to evolve, and to experience new things.
