From Past event attendees
This weekend, I had the great privilege of attending Tasha McCaskiel, M.S.’s Black Girls In Media Conference in Atlanta, and nothing but love permeated the room as the entertainment industry’s leading marketing, comms, and creative professionals of color, along with influencer entrepreneurs, dropped major gems. It’s the resource and the community I never knew I needed, and I’m excited about the next pop-up!

I extend my gratitude to the ESSENCE Girls United — @DanielleWright, Kenyatta Victoria, and Lanece Webb—and the remarkable Black Girls In Media founder Tasha McCaskiel, M.S. McCaskiel for hosting a resourceful, curious, self-advocating Q/A webinar. Essence GU got real with us, sharing their beautiful accomplishments and gutter experiences in the media journey.
Remarkably, a 13-year-old aspiring media enthusiast sought guidance, and without a blink of an eye, Danielle pledged support in helping this young girl land a pitch with Essence GU! That's what you call the power of sisterhood!

Many gems were dropped .

Excited to share that I had the incredible opportunity to attend the “Fit For Media Success” event hosted by Black Girls In Media in collaboration with Fabletics 🎉 It was an inspiring evening focused on recruitment strategies and networking in the media industry.
Huge thanks to Tasha McCaskiel, M.S., the founder of Black Girls in Media, for creating such an empowering platform for women in the industry. Your dedication to fostering diversity and inclusion is truly commendable.
