About this event
The Power of TV: Reshaping Breast Cancer Narratives
Presented By: Television Academy Foundation and USC Hollywood Health and Society
Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at 9:00AM PT
Developed in partnership with Hollywood, Health & Society, a program of the University of Southern California Annenberg Norman Lear Center, the event will assemble storytellers and a medical and public health expert to discuss the very-real disparities in health care services that exist in access to health risk, prevention, treatment messages, and care for people of color.
The conversation will focus primarily on young women who are most affected by early onset breast cancer, the inequities in access to risk information and health care, and how television programs can inspire young women to take action for their health. Speakers will explore ways in which content creators can shed light on the topic and promote positive social change by incorporating more storylines on these issues in their programs.
Join us for an in-person conversation with:
Kristi Korzec, Writer and Co-Executive Producer for Superman & Lois
Alena Smith, Creator of Dickinson on Apple TV+
Krista Vernoff, Showrunner and Executive Producer, Grey's Anatomy and Station 19
Moderated by:
Carri Twigg, Co Founder and Head of Development for Culture House
