As one of Hollywood’s most powerful dealmakers and a founding member of Time’s Up, talent attorney Nina Shaw is steadfast in her mission to bring equality to the entertainment industry. “We’re at a moment in time where we have to choose our sides,” she says. “And I believe I'm on the side that history will look back at and thank profusely.
Shaw doesn’t tiptoe around what it takes to broker the big deals she knows her roster of A-list clients deserve. “My default is always reasonableness,” she says. “But if you don't want to do that with me, I will fight you to the ends of the earth.” The upside of her hard-won battles, Shaw believes, extends far beyond the careers of her clients and translates into a win-win for the industry as a whole.
From striking mega deals to setting the agenda for driving much-needed change in the entertainment industry and beyond, Shaw is committed to continuing the fight to move culture forward. “At end of the day, this is the career that I've chosen,” she says. “This is the place that I've decided to live in. I want it to be as good as it can be for all of us.

For me, power is about knowing I have a sovereign, holy, just, and merciful Father-God who always works for his glory and my greatest good - whatever that might look like. I don't have to be strong, worthy, or successful - and yet I can walk without fear. QOTD
