Taylor K. Shaw Biography

Taylor K. Shaw is a 2021 Forbes 30 Under 30 Hollywood & Entertainment list honoree and 2021 Shadow & Act Rising Executive Award Winner. A visionary creator and writer, Shaw is committed to creating a more inclusive media landscape and creating liberating narratives for Black women and other marginalized groups.

She is the youngest CEO in the animation industry and one of the brightest game changers in Hollywood. She founded BWA Studios, the first and only animation studio designed to change the world of animation by consciously hiring Black women and animators of color.

BWA is an original content house that creates and develops both adult and children’s programming. Some of her successes at BWA include a first-look deal with Warner Bros. Discovery through their 150 Program and the creation of award-winning digital and television series animation for the likes of Hulu, A&E, HBO, Warner Bros. Discovery, Mattel and more.

Shaw’s pioneering DEI efforts have left a lasting impact on several global media organizations including Vice Media and Netflix Animation Studios. She trains and develops executive, mid-level, and emerging talent to do excellent work while also giving them the tools to center equity in their roles. She believes a more equitable world begins with personal transformation. For this reason, she serves as a Partner & Transformational Coach at social impact agency Inspire Justice. She also holds a DEI certificate from Cornell University.

The Tory Burch Foundation & Soho House Fellow has been featured in Deadline Hollywood, Emmy Magazine, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and the LA Times for her work empowering marginalized voices in entertainment.
