the reality of parenthood
First I was told that if I was to come on a show to direct, the fact that I was a parent now really ‘couldn’t get in the way’ of me doing my job. Then more recently a line producer told me that ‘he really tries to avoid hiring mothers because they just don’t stay focused on the job’.
Why it’s all good
I was 22 with no noteworthy college education, and I was being paid to travel and be a part of TV shows. In the midst of this, I found out my girlfriend got pregnant. At the time I was very scared because I was still on a PA’s salary, and was very new on the RTV scene.
