Kathryn Busby, Alison Hoffman, Patina Miller and Toni Graphia will explore “Sensuality and Strength: Breaking the Mold in Female Storytelling”

STARZ president of original programming Kathryn Busby and president Alison Hoffman will join actress Patina Miller (“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”) and executive producer Toni Graphia (“Outlander: Blood of my Blood”) at TheWrap’s Power Women Summit, presented by STARZ #TakeTheLead, on Dec. 2 at The Maybourne Beverly Hills.

This special conversation, titled “Sensuality and Strength: Breaking the Mold in Female Storytelling,” will highlight STARZ’s trailblazing approach to female-driven narratives – from commanding antiheroines and layered protagonists to bold creative choices that challenge industry norms. Together, these panelists will explore how STARZ centers authentic representation, empowers women behind and in front of the camera, and continues to redefine character complexity across its programming slate.
