We’re back with season two of the Women of Color Unite Podcast! Did you miss us?

The Women of Color Unite Podcast: How Hollywood Works… Or Doesn't pulls back the velvet curtain on the entertainment industry: the wins, the wild stories, and the “you can’t make this up” moments that define life behind the scenes. The show brings you real talk from people who live it, love it, and occasionally have to fight it. Each episode dives into creativity, career chaos, and those rare moments when Visibility, Innovation, and Access actually align.

In our premiere episode, we have an illustrious guest, Brenda Gilbert of BRON Studios. Now a board member of Women of Color Unite, Gilbert has produced over 125 projects, including “The Willoughbys” and “Loudmouth.” She joined our hosts, Cheryl L. Bedford and Nicci Freeman, to share her journey from business to film production, the importance of authentic storytelling, and the challenges she faced in the industry.
