Joined by Sam Conroy from Animation Heroine, we discuss sexual harassment more in-depth: events in recent animation news, laws to know to protect yourself, how to be an advocate for others, as well as how to process all of this for your well-being. Oh, and we bust out some Leslie Knope quotes to make ourselves feel better.
Please note that we are not lawyers, but Sam has researched this topic and shares her findings in this episode and also gives us plenty of ideas of how to seek this information out for ourselves. Most laws shared are specific to California or NY as laws may vary per state.
We’re just two people who were deeply affected by this event and want to share what we’ve learned with you. We’re lucky to have a wonderful support system in each other, and hope that you feel supported, too.
- Know your resources.
- Know your boundaries.
- Vocalize when your boundaries have been crossed.
- Hold each other accountable.

A brief overview of Sexual Harassment and pep talk for moving forward as it relates to the Animation industry (and honestly, most industries!)
And although this episode focuses on telling someone, it is the victim's choice on whether or not they will report the incident or treatment. Just know that there are resources available to you.
This episode is raw, you will hear my hand holding the audio recorder as well as hear me be uncomfortable, laugh awkwardly, be pissed, and other emotions.
I recorded and re-recorded this a few times as well as ran it by friends and peers. I gathered information about Sexual Harassment and Abuse from the links gathered below and the rest of my advice/thoughts have been formed and influenced by the active discussion in our community along with my personal feelings and experience.

Today, we’re joined by Illustrator and Designer, Anand Duncan for an in-depth conversation about creativity, family, the freelance life, her passion for VR (or Virtual Reality), and the space where art meets science and tech. Currently, a prop designer on “Teen Titans Go!” she’s worked in both design and animation on projects for Warner Brothers, Disney, Cartoon Network, Renegade Animation, and Nintendo!
She’s even created a short animated series called “Gamma Girls” about two smart and goofy tech teens in space. I’m sure you’ve already noticed a common theme- for Anand, there are no limits to what she can do with her art.

Television writer, Mercedes Valle is best known for her role as a staff writer on Disney’s Elena of Avalor. She shares how she went from working in New York City as a lawyer to getting staffed on a writing team, how being Latina played into her opportunities so far but also how her background in law has been equally helpful, and she shares the worst advice she has received so far in hopes we won’t make the same mistake.

At 9 years old, Sabrina Alberghetti saw “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” and she knew animation was for her. Now, she’s a storyboard artist with over 13 years of experience from working on shows like Ed, Edd, and Eddy, and My Little Pony- she has been known as the ambassador of the Bronies- and she’s drawn covers for the beloved Disney Afternoon comics.
We discuss storyboarding, what a storyboard artist can do that a show runner can’t, knowing when to take a break, and how it is about who you know, but more so, it’s about what you have to show them once you know that someone.
Be sure to check her work out on Instagram @ Sibsy_draws

Now, we talk about what she does as a production assistant and how it is one step on the way to her ultimate goal of becoming a storyboard artist and creating the stories that kids young and old will get to enjoy on-screen.
