would use a hairbrush as a mic and mimic Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer in the mirror. She didn’t have many broadcast idols she could emulate — in those times, there weren’t many women of color headlining news shows.Productions, Hostin will be able to spotlight characters neglected by Hollywood. The global, multi-platform media company will develop and create content for film and television, highlighting important social justice issues and meaningful, inclusive stories.
Hostin teamed with Spencer after reaching out to the “Hidden Figures” actress following a panel she moderated in New York City for one of Spencer’s shows, Apple TV Plus’ “Truth Be Told.” Hostin had a rough edit of the book in her bag and handed it to Spencer after the panel, unsure of what would come out of that bold decision. Spencer ended up calling her right after her flight back home, saying that she couldn’t stop reading the book and saw a future in collaborating.
Moreover, last fall, Hostin announced the development of another drama series. Titled “The Counsel,” the show is inspired by her life and career as a federal prosecutor. Ridley Scott and his banner, Scott Free, and Universal Television at Fox are producing. The series follows four thirty-something women of color who are leaders in their respective fields of journalism, law, politics and public relations.

Love to be part of it
