Time's Up Co-Founder Tina Tchen Leading GRAMMYs' Diversity Task Force Is a Step in the Right Direction

The GRAMMYs are now making necessary changes to dispel their longtime gender bias with a new diversity task force, which will be headed by a powerful leader who is not a man.

Tina Tchen has been appointed to lead the organization, and she has various avenues of credibility that makes her a valid choice. First, Tchen is a lawyer and was the chief of staff to former first lady Michelle Obama. She is also the co-founder of Time's Up, an initiative that seeks to tackle sexual harassment claims, which has taken off in Hollywood in wake of #MeToo. Being that Tchen helped spearhead such a timely movement that helps to keep women safe and equal in the workplace, she's shown that she wants to see a change in this industry. Lastly, Tchen is the daughter of Chinese immigrants. Her being a person of color in such a high-profile role proves there is room for minorities to make a difference.
