This past year Busby prioritized authentic stories and continued to shine a light on multiple women-focused projects and roles, as seen in season 7 of “Outlander” and “The Serpent Queen,” which tells the story of Catherine de’ Medici. Outside of STARZ, she formulated a BAFTA Masterclass to help turn underprivileged students into eventual industry leaders and serves on the BAFTA steering committee, where she helped bring in the most diverse results in its history.
What emerging industry trend are you most excited by? The trend toward telling stories from underrepresented audiences. The more we tell stories from everyone, the more empathy we will have for each other.

Favorite way to de-stress? Hip hop dance classes.
