On this week’s episode of Stockton Street, @shondarhimes talks building worlds that shift culture. From pitching Grey’s Anatomy to creating phenomena like Bridgerton, Shonda shares how she develops big ideas and keeps leveling up.
Costume Institute Benefit 2026 🤍 The love of fashion all started with my mom sewing my first tennis skirt at 14. Watching how it’s made, how it moves and how it tells a story gave me a deep appreciation for fashion at its core. It’s what has continued to allow me to connect with people around the world and has provided a stage for expressing my own unique ideas, creativity and personal style. Now, I’m even more grateful to carry that same love with me in such special moments like this. @met_costume

Women negotiating deals, take this advice from @shondarhimes: Never enter a negotiation you’re not willing to walk away from. Knowing your worth and your boundaries is where real leverage begins. 🤍
The secret to culture shifting TV? According to @shondarhimes, it’s not something you control. You simply create the world and the fans decide what becomes part of culture.

In the early 2000s @shondarhimes stayed home watching a lot of TV and realized the show she wanted to watch didn’t exist. So she wrote it…
That show became Grey’s Anatomy.
