Kate Hewitt | director del consejo, secretario
Kate Hewitt es la Directora de la Escuela Secundaria Wheeler. Durante más de 25 años en el mundo de la educación, ha sido profesora, bibliotecaria, asesora y directora de escuela. Ha trabajado con alumnos de todas las edades, desde la primera infancia hasta el duodécimo curso, tanto en centros públicos como independientes. Los valores fundamentales de la práctica de Kate son la empatía, la justicia y la reflexión, y su profunda creencia en el poder de las historias para ayudarnos a comprender las similitudes que subyacen a las diferencias. Sumergirnos en historias contadas desde una gran variedad de perspectivas nos capacita a todos para ser los mejores estudiantes y los mejores seres humanos que podemos ser: culturalmente competentes, de mente abierta, empáticos y dispuestos a trabajar juntos por un mundo más justo y equitativo. Los primeros recuerdos cinematográficos de Kate giran en torno a las destartaladas copias en VHS de La princesa prometida y La película de los Teleñecos que regularmente me rogaba que sacara para las noches de cine en familia.

Claudeline Cherry | Director del Consejo
Claudeline Chery is an Associate Director at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she leads community partnerships and civic engagement for the institution. Her career spans more than two decades, beginning with work that placed her at the ground level of legal and cross-cultural systems, moving through direct service, and culminating in the systems-level strategy work she does now. She believes education happens well beyond the classroom, that the systems, structures, and relationships institutions build are themselves a form of human development, and that getting those right is consequential work. Across Boston and Providence, she has designed partnerships, governance structures, managed grant portfolios, and translated community partner data into planning and resource decisions at the executive level. Her work sits at the intersection of institutional strategy and community accountability, and she has spent most of her career trying to close the gap between what institutions say they want to do and what actually gets built.

Kimberly Wright | Director del Consejo
Kimberly recently co-founded Double Take Casting & Consulting, LLC (DTCC), a boutique casting and consulting agency specializing in film, television, theater, live events and speaking engagements. DTCC supports productions, organizations, and institutions seeking intentional casting and creative guidance that promotes equity, inclusion and representation, a mission near and dear to Kimberly’s heart.
Before launching DTCC, Kimberly was the Senior Producer for the PBS preschool series, Work it Out Wombats! which premiered in February 2023. She worked in close collaboration with the Executive Producers and Creative Producers to develop all key creative ingredients of the production: scripts, talent, animation, designs, music, and all other elements affecting the format, substance, and style of the series. She acted as a liaison with the series’ animation partner during all production phases: design, casting, storyboards, audio records, rough cuts, fine cuts and mixes. Kimberly also helped lead initiatives for culture and inclusion, including identifying prospective writers and advisors with the goal of diversifying the team. While at GBH, Kimberly also served as Casting Producer for the new PBS Kids series America’s Awesome Kids. She worked closely with multiple PBS affiliate stations across the country to do outreach and cast kids for the project.
Prior to joining the GBH family, Kimberly was the Film Producer at Sesame Workshop for 11 years. While in that role she commissioned live action, animated, and mixed media short films for Sesame Street. Kimberly worked closely with filmmakers and animators to guide them through the creative process in order to shape the films to best meet the show’s specific letter and thematic needs, while also staying within the films’ budget. She oversaw all aspects of creative development of the short films and animations, from conception and deal-making, to production and delivery. As a means of finding new content creators to partner with, Kimberly attended various children’s film festivals and media conferences throughout the US and abroad, including Canada, Germany, Trinidad, Jamaica, Australia, and New Zealand where she participated as a keynote speaker, panelist and juror. She made it her mission to not only diversify the pool of filmmakers and animators creating content for Sesame Street, but to also provide opportunities for young, up and coming BIPOC content creators.
Before getting her start in the children’s television world, Kimberly had been daytime television producer for 12 years, working for Telepictures, NBC, and Paramount Pictures, and producing several national daytime talk shows, including The Queen Latifah Show, The John Walsh Show and The Montel Williams Show. In 2006, as Montel’s Senior Producer, she had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change lives by traveling all the way to the Persian Gulf to help Montel surprise the troops for the holidays with messages from their loved ones, and give them the opportunity to share their personal stories. It was an experience Kimberly says she will never forget, and it definitely helped shape her career.
Kimberly has a BA in Radio/Television from The George Washington University. She lives in northern New Jersey with her husband and two children. She is a self-proclaimed “foodie” who loves to try new restaurants and travel, and says when she isn’t busy working, she can often be found on a soccer field or a basketball court with one of her kids.
Daytime Emmy-Award winner – Sesame Street (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022) (Outstanding Preschool Series)
