Didn’t Carter take the lead on the MMRR project? Like it or not it seems to be reasonably successful even if it’s arguable whether it was placed in the optimal location at DHS. Or was that a Weis-Rafferty project that she largely co-produced on as well?
She started with WDI on the finance side but has been in the creative side for the past 13+ years
yes I believe she was a lead on MMRR, I just replied to their previous post, but she started in the finance side of WDI and has been on the creative side for over 13 years
Exactly. I said this a while ago, but I think the messaging is a weird example of imagineers trying to show us how much thought they put into it rather than showing us why it will be fun. Again, this is just my impression. It’s ok if someone is excited about this stuff… happy they’re excited.
She was "senior producer" on MMRR. So while she "oversaw" the project, she had little to no hand in the creative process. Kevin Rafferty was brought on to help with the creative forces behind it. While Paul Rudish (lead animator on the modern Mickey shorts) also oversaw much of the visual scenery. And of course, a lot of other people as well. Carter isn't a "creative", even if she is often trotted out to seem like she is.
She’s served as a Creative Producer in some form for the past 17 years for WDI
A title that holds no actual meaning. Again, she has power OVER creative teams, but is not herself a creative. Her background and experience is in finance. Her college degree is for accounting. And you can very much see this background in the so-called "story" her team created for Tiana.
This is just a side note, not an argument.
Maybe the current pipeline of creatives is failing to produce truly creative people? Or there is so much corporate BS tacked onto the job it is not a creative environment so creative people prefer not to subject themselves to the grind?
Wait, so you wanted this thread to basically just talk about what tarp is up where and how many stones have been turned over?
It’s particularly risible when you consider these efforts at “inclusion” are done in parks that are increasingly economically exclusionary to all but the upper middle class.
You can “ignore” the people you don’t want to listen to. Me included in fact. Then you can get only the updates you want.
You are confusing a suggestion with instruction.
Come on, this is silly. You think that because she majored in accounting back in college she's forever disqualified from leading a creative project?

She did more than just major in it in college she helped count beans for the company prior to her current role. So it is one of her appeals. She of course can lead creative teams and be a part of them, and you can also figure why that is a good person to have the position.Meet Charita Carter, The First African-American Woman Executive Producer Of Walt Disney Imagineering
Before embarking on the pathway to an Imagineering career, Carter served as a senior accountant.
Theoretically that would make her what so many have been asking for, a creative that understands budget and numbers or a anti-joe
