"As producers we get to employ hundreds and hundreds of artists and activists and we can do that in environments that are safe and embody our values,” said Washington at the TV press tour. About eight years ago, Witherspoon says she “wasn’t happy with the choices that were being made for me and I didn’t see a place to exist within the industry that we had. There just wasn’t a spectrum of storytelling for women that was reflective the world that we walked through.”
