THE TALK BACK: Women in Media Panel at Spelman College

I have had the pleasure of working with a team of women mediamakers over the last year or two and that partnership has turned into a unique opportunity to stage a public discussion of how women in media impact the media depictions of women.

Check out Friday Girl TV Host October Rose discuss the Sex Kitten vs the Super Brain.

If you're in the Atlanta area this Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 2pm, stop by Spelman College's Cosby Auditorium to check out the first event from The Talk Back Series called The Sex Kitten vs. the Super Brain. It promises be a great discussion by a group women working at the heart of the entertainment industry.

Awkward Black Girls as the New Media Makers

The web series The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl has been getting a good deal of well-deserved attention as of late. It's funny, a bit irreverent, and has struck a chord with the awkward and non-awkward alike. But perhaps more importantly, this series is a successful example of someone taking control of media by transforming it from within. Here's the latest episode. To catch up on previous episodes check out http://awkwardblackgirl.com/.

So WATCH - LAUGH - and TAKE NOTE. We need more media makers to expand the idea of who and how women are. Are you next?
