Tasha and I met in 2018 while working Summit 21, presented by Blavity and 21Ninety. I was volunteering and she was WORKING. I was drawn to her focus and her ability to remain calm in such a busy time. Since we connected a few years ago, Tasha has founded Black Girls In Media, a networking organization commited to support and uplift minority women in the media industry and we're talking about in on today's episode.
Here's what you can expect:
How she started the Black Girls in Media Community and her long-term goal for the organization
How she harmonizes her work at HBO and her work at Black Girls in Media
Tasha’s advice for genuinely expanding our network
Creating connections vs. staying connected
What we do with the guilt feelings we've felt around "rest"
How creating community adds value to your job hunt
How you can get involved with Black Girls in Media and why this work is important to Tasha
The secret to getting what you want (no matter what)
How Tasha relates dating to her job hunting approach
Her affirmations and how they help her (& her Virgo) stay grounded
Tasha’s book recommendations for aspiring and current media leaders I'm so thankful that I get to tell these stories
