Behind the Scenes in Hollywood with Women Power Brokers

On this edition of Women of Power, we go behind the scenes with directors, show runners and an actress making moves in Hollywood. We lead off with Mara Brock Akil, the hot creator behind some of TV's most exciting shows like "Girlfriends" and "Being Mary Jane." She shares her journey from journalism school to being a hit Hollywood producer. Then, we sit down with Academy Award nominee Ava Duvernay, who is emerging as a directorial force behind one of last year's most-talked about movies, "Selma." From there, we talk to Tonya Lewis Lee, who is stepping out of the shadows of her husband, Spike Lee, and into her own light as a producer and best-selling author. And finally, we get survival tips from Lorraine Toussaint, an actress who's career has spanned more than 30 years.
