Guest columnist Jeanell English explains why she left the film academy earlier this year — and why she's not alone in the recent 'exodus' of Hollywood DEAI execs.
Like most women, I share an intimate relationship with my gynecologist. I went to see her during my last week working for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “When was your last period?” she asked. I hesitated before responding. “Actually, my last period is the first one I had this year. It came just over a month ago, the week after I resigned from my job.” She paused in reflection while glancing at my charts.
The level of consensus-building needed to establish a foundation for the changes I encouraged demanded a level of mental agility and fortitude that was unsustainable. I, like many of my comrades in DEAI, acknowledge that feeling safe, valued and protected is fleeting in this work. I never took my role at the academy to be the solution. I accepted my role to be a part of finding solutions.
