About
Our Mission
Our mission is to explore and portray the different dynamics of black relationships on and off screen by offering a unique perspective on real-life events. We understand the importance of representation, and that's why we are committed to showcasing authentic portrayals of black love, families, and friendships.
How we achieve this?
Because we are dedicated to diversifying representations of Black individuals, not only do we create content that represents this vision, we are also committed to providing opportunities for women of color working behind the scenes. We mentor and empower women to create and produce meaningful content that reflects the world we live in. Our mission is to create a more inclusive and tolerant society, one story at a time.
Why is it important?
According to The Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film, in 2023, women made up 22% of directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors, and cinematographers in the top 250 grossing films. This marks a decrease from 24% in 2022.
In January 2024, The Hollywood Reporter reported that, of the top 100 movies in the past 17 years, only 19 were directed by women of color. This highlights the fact that many voices of women of color remain unheard and their stories untold.
