#29DaysofMagic Episode 161: Black Women in Media with Judith Jacques

Welcome to Day 7 of #29Days of Magic! My guest today and I find out off the bat my guest and I grew up practically right next to each other!! Her name is Judith Jacques, the Founder of Black Women In Media. We bond a bit over our shared experiences of growing up near Long Island. Then we get to talk about how she started working and after running into biases in her field of work she started and began to build her firm to represent a lot of non-profits, and other groups. Seeking to celebrate the greatness of Black Woman in Media, because of the lack she had found, she started BLACKSTREET that provides positive media representation, access to educational and financial resources, entertainment and experiential events, and the upliftment of the Black community. We also get to chat about the issues of running events when a deadly virus is around, and Judith being right about having to go virtual for some events that were pushed to the fall.  https://twitter.com/JudithJacques https://www.linkedin.com/in/judithjacques/ https://blackwomeninmedia.com/ Sponsored by @sohoworks --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-reset-podcast/support
