Nkechi Okoro Carroll has become something of a pioneer, as a Black woman who is the showrunner — or top creative authority and manager — for three different network television shows.
Excelling in a job typically dominated by white males, Carroll oversees the budgets, production and writing for all three shows. She says her unique background and education turned out to be the perfect training for the roles she inhabits now.
She adds,"I just saw a real opportunity to make a show that I would have loved to watch growing up. A show that I would be proud to sit down and watch with my kids that also put hopes and dreams back into our community."from co-owners Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global.
Eventually, Carroll decided to learn how to write TV, downloading scripts for series off the internet and watching the finished episodes to learn structure. She used her vacation time to work as a background actor, or"extra," on shows shooting in New York City, watching how production worked and hitting up crew members to work on her short films.
