Disrupting Racism: A Call to Action for Media Leaders and Industry Mentors

It’s 2024 - yet the fight against racism, particularly anti-Black racism, remains an urgent issue in the industry. While progress has been made, much work remains to embed anti-racism strategies deeply into organizational frameworks, production practices, and mentorship programs. This professional development session, led by Natasha Tony, an expert in combating anti-Black racism, offers practical insights for creating meaningful change within your organization and personal practice. Join to learn how to effectively challenge and transform the underlying structures perpetuating racism.

Space is limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
