Diversity in the Entertainment Industry

On the Fearless People Podcast, I, Bamby Salcedo, have intentional and meaningful conversations with people from all walks of life. Each episode is a window into their lives and what they are doing to create a better world for all of us. Join me to learn about fearless people who are changing the world.

Today’s episode of THE FEARLESS PEOPLE Podcast is brought to you by Warner Bros. Discovery in recognition of Trans Awareness Month.

​In this inspiring episode, host Bamby Salcedo talks with Yvette Urbina, Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Warner Bros. Discovery. Yvette, a native of Los Angeles, California, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Government from Georgetown University. Her role is to bridge the gap between the programs and content at the core of the company's mission to build a more inclusive and innovative entertainment industry. She identifies diverse talent opportunities across the enterprise through cross-divisional relationships and collaboration, resulting in more significant equity and inclusion for all content. 

In this episode, Yvette shares her journey from growing up as a Mexican American with blue-collar parents in a Los Angeles neighborhood to becoming a successful professional. Despite facing challenges and being different from her peers, Yvette learned to step out of her comfort zone and create goals for herself. She emphasizes the importance of being in spaces that allow for opportunities to be accessible and the value of persistence. 

Take advantage of Yvette's incredible story and let it inspire you to keep pushing toward your dreams. Follow the conversation and share your thoughts with the hashtag #FearlessPeoplePodcast
