Shonda Rhimes is a name that most African Americans have come to respect for the way that she has not only made great strides in the male-dominated television industry, but also having done this as a black woman in an industry that has historically been run by those of European descent. If you’re wondering just what these accomplishments are — you may be in the minority of those who have not yet tuned in to such current high-rated and award winning shows like “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice” or “Scandal” — all Rhimes’ creations.
