Babita Bahal - Group Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Fremantle
In this inspiring and uplifting episode of the Wonder Women podcast, we speak to Babita Bahal, the Group Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Fremantle. Her unmatched passion for diversity and inclusion is a delight to listen to, learning about her hopes for the future of the industry, and the amazing initiatives Fremantle are putting in place to create positive change. Babita tells us about how she first got her big break in TV by connections she made at the school gates. Whilst also reflecting on highlights of her career, including co-writing the BBC Diversity Guidelines and how she went on to lead the behind-the-camera work on award-winning project Black to Front where Channel 4 dedicated an entire day of programming and adverts to Black talent. We discuss Fremantle's award-winning all-female production Queens, which trained up freelancers and set industry-shifting boundaries, setting a blueprint for what future TV productions could be. Lastly, we talk about resilience, how to navigate redundancy and the ongoing balancing act of being a working mother in the industry.
