Black Girls In Media is a networking organization committed to support and uplift minority women in the media industry. Their 2023 membership program is now open for enrollment
Founded in 2018, Tasha McCaskiel (Founder of BGIM/ Social media strategist based in LA) Was back in her hometown— Post Grad-school, struggling to get hired in the media industry and begin her full-time career. “Why am I not getting hired?” She asked herself. Having friends and family in different professional industries than her, she had no one to vent to, or assist with these issues. She then began noting the extreme difficulty that women of color face breaking into the corporate world and gaining equal opportunity.
After months of feeling lost and uninspired; Tasha came up with the idea to create a platform where women can uplift each other and cross network to gain opportunities in order to bring one another through those corporate doors.
What started as a small GroupMe chat, grew into a worldwide community. So far, over 1,000 opportunities have been given to BGIM members with an audience of over 80 thousand people worldwide.
"Black Girls In Media works with companies to hire diverse talent in the media industry." -Founder, Tasha McCaskiel says.
By the end of 2023, Black Girls In Media will have placed 2,000 of their members
in new media job roles.
Black Girls in Media's 2023 membership program is now open for the year. Enrollment ends 1/31/2023.
