The podcast interview titled "Inside Hollywood - Black and Underpaid- a Story in Numbers" brought together Cheryl Bedford, Roni Davis, and Emelyn Stuart to discuss the challenges faced by women of color in the film industry. The conversation shed light on the disparities in pay and opportunities for women of color compared to their white counterparts. The discussion was led by host Floyd Marshall Jr., who highlighted the issue of underpayment in the industry despite the immense talent and contributions of women of color like Taraji P. Henson. Cheryl Bedford, the founder of "Women of Color Unite" and the "JTC List," emphasized the importance of data-driven solutions to address the systemic issues faced by women of color in the entertainment industry. She pointed out that the barriers to entry, such as union requirements, disproportionately affect women of color, making it difficult for them to advance in their careers. Bedford's work is focused on breaking down these barriers and advocating for more equitable opportunities for women of color in the industry. Emelyn Stuart, the founder of the October Film Festival and the Stewart Cinema Cafe, shared her experiences as the first Black Latina to own a movie theater in New York. Stuart highlighted the need for education and mentorship programs to empower artists of color to navigate the business side of the industry effectively. She is working towards opening more theaters and launching a business school for artists to bridge the gap in understanding the financial aspects of the industry. Roni Davis, the co-founder of "Black Love Exists" and the hit series "Tough Love," discussed the challenges faced by women of color in the film industry and the importance of representation both in front of and behind the camera. Davis emphasized the need for more diverse voices and stories to be told in the industry to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for women of color. Overall, the podcast highlighted the need for systemic change in the entertainment industry to address the issues of underpayment and lack of opportunities for women of color. The conversation underscored the importance of data-driven solutions, mentorship programs, and advocacy efforts to create a more level playing field for women of color in Hollywood. As the conversation continues, it is clear that the industry must work towards greater diversity, equity, and inclusion to ensure that all voices are heard and valued. The stories and experiences shared by Cheryl Bedford, Roni Davis, and Emelyn Stuart serve as a call to action for the industry to do better and create a more inclusive and equitable environment for women of color in Hollywood. ======== Submit Your Film to Our Film Collective: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ifapfilmcollective.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect With Floyd Marshall Jr: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/floydmarshalljr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@floydmarshalljr0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aconversationwithfm/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aconversationwithfm/support

Though June has been known as Black Music Month since 1979, it wasn't until Dyana Williams met with President Clinton years later before The White House officially recognized it. Today Dyana is known as an activist for the rights of Black musicians. She got her start in radio back in the 1970s when she joined the staff of 96.3 WHUR-FM in Washington D.C. Two years later she returned to her hometown of New York City to become an on-air personality and the first Black-Latina woman to host rock music station WRQX-FM. Her career in radio has left a legacy of fighting for Black musical creatives and is proof that radio personalities can have a positive impact on our world outside of the airwaves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Work in Progress, I am joined by Dwana Franklin-Davis, CEO of Reboot Representation whose mission is to double the number of Black, Latina, and Native American (BLNA) women in the tech industry by the year 2025. I sat down with Franklin-Davis at the Aspen Latino Business Summit in Washington, D.C. in early September. Reboot Representation Tech Coalition was launched in 2018 by Pivotal Ventures, Melinda French Gates' incubation organization, which advocates for expanding opportunity and accelerating equity through high-impact investments and partnerships. It was a direct response to the small percentage of women of color graduating with computer degrees and working in the tech industry. "BLNA women in 2017 represented 4% of the graduating population, and that number was down by 33% from the previous decade and wasn't projected to double to 8% until the year 2052 without interventions," explains Franklin-Davis. Pivotal and McKinsey surveyed 32 corporations representing $500 billion in revenue and $500 million in philanthropic giving to determine what they were spending on women and girls in tech. "It turned out they were spending 5% of their philanthropic dollars on women and girls in tech, and less than 0.1% went intentionally to Black, Latina, and Native American women and girls in tech. So the magic number – I got my air quotes around magic – the magic number from that less than 0.1% way back in the day 2017 was $335,000. That's it," she says. Eleven founding companies joined with Pivotal to form Reboot Representation to increase representation and investment in BLNA women in tech. Today there are 23. In a new report, Reboot says their partners have helped increase the number women in the field, but there is a long way to go. "The number of computing degrees awarded to BLNA women nearly doubled between 2016 and 2021, but continued intentional investments will be required to sustain and propel these efforts," according to that report. Franklin-Davis tells me, "I am ecstatic to watch the numbers of BLNA women graduating with computing degrees. We've almost reached our doubling goal. We're almost there. So, that is definitely something to celebrate. But also, I don't want to give the pat on the back to say we're done because although we're watching the actual numbers increase – which is beautiful and amazing – the percentages are only slightly nudging up, which is not good enough." Even with that progress in the graduation rates, the industry representation is heading in the opposite direction. "The numbers of BLNA women in the industry are going down at the very moment that graduation rates are going up. So, we have a graph that looks like a very visible X and that is alarming. That's what keeps us up at night, which is why we produced this second report because we want to make sure that corporations have the tools they need in order to make the minor adjustments to work smarter and not harder and be able to effectively recruit, retain, and advance a diverse workforce." The new report offers up nine suggestions to guide companies seeking to encourage and retain that more diverse workforce, including adding more BLNA women. Franklin-Davis and I discuss those suggestions. Find out more in the podcast, which you can listen to here, or download and listen wherever you get your podcasts.

In Translating Blackness: Latinx Colonialities in Global Perspective (Duke University Press, 2022), Lorgia García Peña considers Black Latinidad in a global perspective in order to chart colonialism as an ongoing sociopolitical force. Drawing from archives and cultural productions from the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe, García Peña argues that Black Latinidad is a social, cultural, and political formation—rather than solely a site of identity—through which we can understand both oppression and resistance. She takes up the intellectual and political genealogy of Black Latinidad in the works of Frederick Douglass, Gregorio Luperón, and Arthur Schomburg. She also considers the lives of Black Latina women living in the diaspora, such as Black Dominicana guerrillas who migrated throughout the diaspora after the 1965 civil war and Black immigrant and second-generation women like Mercedes Frías and Milagros Guzmán organizing in Italy with other oppressed communities. In demonstrating that analyses of Black Latinidad must include Latinx people and cultures throughout the diaspora, García Peña shows how the vaivén—or, coming and going—at the heart of migrant life reveals that the nation is not a sufficient rubric from which to understand human lived experiences.

In episode 144, Erik and Kerel talk with Crystal Shaniece Roman, Owner at The Black Latina Movement, a theater and film production company in New York City. Crystal grew up in New York City and was born to Jamaican and Puerto Rican parents. At a very young age she fell in love with acting and the arts in general and then continued on to become an actor. As she continued in her career, due to her being biracial and not fitting into the one race box everyone wanted to cast from, she wasn't getting many roles. She decided to start making her own work and that was when The Black Latina Movement started. Other than being the Founder and CEO, she has now written, produced and directed. Crystal shares the changes being created through The Black Latina Movement by traveling to different universities and opening up others' perspectives about her and others' cultures, the forward progress that's being made in the movie industry through the power of people and community, and a very important lesson Crystal has learned about herself since running her own business. “A lot of the time, especially with algorithms and Instagram, people will feel like they have to just jump into different things just to stay relevant. Like, "Oh, I'm doing this one thing and this isn't working for me. And I'm going to do this. And I'm going to do that." You have to stay firm in what your passion is because tides will change and fades go in and out, but if you falter and you don't stay firm and you don't stay disciplined, it's very easy to lose it.” Timestamps :38: Crystal Roman, Owner at The Black Latina Movement, tells us about her experience growing up with Jamaican and Puerto Rican parents in the boroughs of New York City 3:16: Kerel asks Crystal which side of the family's food is better - Jamaican or Puerto Rican 4:03: Crystal shares about The Black Latina Movement, a theater and film production company in New York City and how it became what it is today 6:08: Crystal's perspective on what has inspired change in the movie industry to feature more diverse voices and shows 8:09: How the pandemic and social and civil unrest has impacted The Black Latina Movement and the positive change that has come from sharing their perspectives with others 10:19: Crystal talks about how she got into acting 10:54: Crystal shares how times have changed with actors and artists and the lessons she's learned from when she was actively acting to how to adapt to the landscape these days 12:14: The impact Crystal's parents made on her to be an artist and a person of culture 13:25: One important thing Crystal has learned about herself since she has started running her own business 14:42: The future of The Black Latina Movement, including touring universities, different cities, more on the digital spaces and upcoming shows 17:19: Where Crystal is finding inspiration these days 18:52: Crystal shares a few of her favorite actors 20:02: The three apps Crystal uses the most to stay connected 20:54: Where you can find Crystal Shaniece Roman and The Black Latina Movement Follow Us: Newsletter: bitly.com/2QLEY8U Linkedin: bit.ly/2ZZUBxG Twitter: bit.ly/2Qp0SzK Instagram: bit.ly/2QLfEQc

In this episode we speak with my cousin Nakia Rosario, a magical around the way girl from the Bronx living in North Carolina. Life experiences have developed her into an intuitive shape shifter that utilizes love, juices and herbs to encourage, empower and uplift every path she walks.   A few years younger than me, Nakia has always looked up to me, however, what is revealed in this episode is how much she has become an inspiration, advisor and confidant to me. As single mom and a Black Latina woman, Nakia learned the importance of pouring into herself after many years of self doubt, personal challenges and traumas. Generations of women in our family have passed down certain messages to us and it's up to us to now discern what was helpful and what was harmful so that we can change the narrative for the women in our family for generations to come. As many Black and Latina women can attest, there is a narrative that we must project a hardness in order to survive. Often many women have no choice, but then what is the result long term?  We talk about how in her case that hardness was necessary in order to keep the family safe and all the plates spinning. However, if not ever balanced with the ease, softness and flow of the Divine Feminine some Black and Latina women are left feeling depleted, unseen and unloved. At this point, an investment in oneself in is a question of survival not luxury. 

Kiesha and Yaribel became fast friends after finding one another frequenting the same online spaces, cheering for the same authors and generally being in community with each other digitally.  In this episode, the two dig into a conversation about identity and community and how we can be impacted by genuine and connected love from others who live in alignment with our purpose and vision.  Yaribel shares stories from her life as a Black Latina growing up in Washington Heights in NYC and the responsibility she feels as one of the "guardians of the community garden." Shop book recommendations from this episode:Ratchetdemic: Reimagining Academic Success a book by Christopher Emdin (bookshop.org)All about Love: New Visions a book by Bell Hooks (bookshop.org)Black Imagination: Black Voices on Black Futures a book by Natasha Marin and Steven Dunn (bookshop.org)One Drop: Shifting the Lens on Race a book by Yaba Blay (bookshop.org)Introduction_to_Dominican_Blackness_Web.pdf (cuny.edu)You can check out more recommendations in the YOU Better BookshopBook Kiesha at https://kieshagarrison.coFind Yaribel online: Yaribel on Instagram (@yari.mercedes)Directly support the podcast financially:Cash AppVenmoPayPal.Me

MSNBC Associate Producer Cora Cervantes' mission is to push for more diversity, equity & inclusion in newsrooms. In her former role as diversity coordinator for the NBC News group, her duty was to center the varying voices and perspectives that help tell a more accurate story of people in diverse communities.    Cora's own story is one that many people in immigrant communities can relate to; she was brought to the United States as a child and had to navigate the challenges of being undocumented. She credits several Black & Latina women in media for not only seeing her potential early on but also for guiding her and providing opportunities that propelled her career.
