Shonda Rhimes name has become one of the most written about and talked about TV writers. Ms. Rhimes has become a shining light in the African American community with her creative talent and ability to get African American actors who do not fit what the industry believes is the "American Ideal look" starring roles. If her name doesn't ring a bell for you yet (not sure where you have been) but her hit TV shows should, familiar with these? Greys Anatomy, Scandal starring Kerry Washington and my personal favorite How to Get Away With Murder starring Viola Davis. A quote from Ms. Rhimes from her interview with people Mag after being told she "diversified TV" her take on her role in the TV entertainment industry " I am making TV look like the way the world looks."
