.shondarhimes, the award-winning TV screenwriter, producer and author, spoke Wednesday night with AuroraJames, founder of Brother Vellies and the 15 Percent Pledge, on stage at Shondaland’s New York offices.
In discussing power and how one gets it, Rhimes said that you have to remember that you’re in a particular job because you’re supposed to be there. “You belong in every room you are in simply because you are in it. You made it in that room, you belong in that room,” said Rhimes, who has been the head writer for such TV shows as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal,” and “Private Practice,” and is the woman behind hits including “Bridgerton,” “How to Get Away with Murder,” and “Inventing Anna.
Rhimes believes that every job is a step toward something, and you don’t have to be doing the greatest job in the world at first. “You have to do something and the stuff you learn from that will push you towards the next thing,” she said. She explained that some of her early jobs were scooping ice cream in high school and working at a retail store in a mall in college, “which I thought was pretty fun and spent all my money on clothes.
When hiring, Rhimes said she always likes people who know who they are and have a story. “For me, it’s always about looking for somebody who has an identity, someone who knows who they are, somebody who comes in with ideas. I always say I want somebody who’s not afraid to argue, but I don’t want to hire somebody who wants to argue all the time.”
“Don’t worry about looking foolish. I look foolish all the time. I’m not afraid to fail and I’m not afraid to try something just because I’m afraid of what’s going to happen,” she said.
